Last year, I submitted a request to the kind hearted folks visiting TOTV, for the gift of yarn which I use in a Prayer Shawl Ministry. One very generous lady (regular poster, here) gave me an enormous bag of mixed colored and different thread, yarn. I've made 9 shawls with some of the yarn- shawls used locally, and one which made it all the way to Brazil as a gift to hosts for visiting volunteers on a Missions Field. Such generosity was greatly appreciated, and the most amazing thing, is the yarn I was unable to use in the original bag, is now destined for Nairobi. It will be used for crafts and as a teaching tool for children learning how to use a loom. Weaving will provide a skill set and a way to earn a living, for some fortunate children. What a blessing, all the way from The Villages, to those less fortunate than ourselves. Don't want to be "preachy" but felt a heartwarming story deserves its place in today's rather sad world.
