Delivered!
Hi everyone!
I’ve been waiting to write now for some time, but wanted to wait till the deed was done. Yes, our shipment left headquarters (Lani’s back bedroom) in Melbourne on the 29th of October.
I tracked it online – like a mother watching her child take its first steps – as it went from port to port and finally landed at Bagram Air Field, outside of Kabul. It has now cleared customs and arrived at Save The Children. I am so excited!!!
Inger at STC is also excited and is already organising the distribution.
For your information, we sent a total of 206 items;
- 11 Blankets
- 1 Shawl
- 4 Scarves
- 159 Beanies
- 8 Pairs Gloves/Mittens
- 18 Jumpers
- 1 Vest
- 4 Pairs Socks
Our original target was 200 items for the first year and thanks to the generosity of all you wonderful knitters, we did it!!!
I’ve already started knitting for next October and I think we can be fairly optimistic and aim for a new target of 300 items.
