BUT…. that does not mean you cannot help.
Back in the 60s, people were faced with similar situations…. how to help the beleaguered victims of US aggression in Vietnam. Not everyone was in the same position as a Jane Fonda, who was able to physically go there to offer her support and solidarity.
BUT…. there were thousands of others who involved themselves in knitting projects…. ‘Blankets for Vietnam’…. These blankets not only warmed the cold children of the nation, but warmed their spirits as well. The feeling that somebody out there cares gave them the inspiration to fight on to their final victory.
A similar movement is under way to help the children of Gaza. Read the following to see how you can get involved…. Be a part of the victory!
Read and support the efforts of THESE wonderful people…..
Hats off to Gaza!
We are a group of caring knitters and crocheters all over the globe who want nothing more than to help these underprivileged children. Everyone deserves to be warm!
Oh thank you! I am one of the knitters and project coordinator. I really appreciate that you also covered us. Overall, most people who hear about us are very excited to know that somebody is working on something like this. We hope to continue growing in the future.
