Kisiizi collection

      DSCN0006
                  Six new vests waiting for the next shipment over to Kisiizi.

       Cliff and Carol have inspired so many to get busy in this church circuit that prior to the last shipment, in June, their house was filled with bags full of knitting, spilling over from spare rooms into the hallway.

      The statistics are impressive:

      The vests in the picture have been sent in from two ladies in the Methodist church in North Cave, East Yorkshire. They heard about the project and have started knitting!! Many thanks to them. The need is ongoing and the next shipment will probably be at the end of the year
