Thank you South Wairarapa for supporting our Easter Raffle, we had an incredible response and were able to donate a total of $400 to UNICEF for their Vanuatu and Nepal appeals as well as purchasing wool for our ongoing projects, namely: Slippers for the children at St. Theresa’s school; Knitwear and Blankets for the Teen Parent Unit at Makoura College; Beanies for the Featherston Medical Centre; Babywear for Masterton Hospital and Blankets; Knitwear for distribution overseas through Mission Without Borders and latterly our fun project knitting poppies for the National Poppy Appeal for WW1 commemorations.
