Baby Shawl Raffle Benefits Children of Nepal

The beautiful white woollen baby shawl that was raffled recently has been won by Daphne Geisler of Martinborough.
 
The shawl was hand crocheted by Margaret Norrish and was a masterpiece of fine handiwork. Over $250 was raised and this has been passed to local resident, Rose Falconer, who works as a volunteer for six months each year with disabled children in Kathmandu, Nepal. Rose says that this amount of money will go a long way in Nepal towards covering the costs of caring for these needy children at the DHC New Life Centre. Rose returns to Nepal early in August.
 
Barbara Cox, who organised the raffle, says “ A big thank you to all those who bought tickets. Your money will be much appreciated by those who care for these children in Nepal, especially as they cope with the after-math of their recent earthquakes.”
