Parcels arrive simultaneously

Lovely this evening on facebook to see photos coming in from Boshra in Belgium that her parcel arrived which includes my baking with my grand daughters!  At the same time photos came in from Turkey from Dante that the parcel arrived there.  He is pleased with the fur lined cardigan for his nephew Ahmed and the clothes for the older boys in the community.  The Maths and English books he is looking at to see if he can work with these to put on classes for the kids. One of my neighbours gets interested in the Family Link Up and she was able to see the facebook messages too as we sat and had tea and natter together here in Hayes West London.  Love this family link up project it is my life.  
I have another jumper hot of the knitting needles for Dante to keep him warm while he is out and about doing is social work within the community.  The wool is so light and warm and is made from Merino sheep wool- which is from Turkey lol so will be going back to Turkey in my next parcel post. 

"Merino Wool is a natural material originating from the Merino Sheep. Merino has high levels of warmth, breathability and softness against the skin, particularly when compared with traditional wool products." This is so special when I google information on the qualities of Merino wool. Merino is finer than most sheeps wool, which gives it a very soft feel.  I am feeling this as I knit it and it is so light too. I have learned most from this site which specialises in Mountain clothing.. wow could so with some of their wares for the Syrian community in Turkey. Mountain Ware - Merino Wool
Cup of tea share care I enjoyed knitting with the Merino chunky too so will look out for more of James Brett Wool
My cats been "helping" with the knitting! :-) 

We need funds for fuel for winter in Turkey and food.  We need funds for educational materials for both the children in Belgium and in Turkey.  We need more art materials for Boshra in Belgium.  She still needs beds for the girls in the apartment too. Funds to purchase from local traders in the host countries is important.  But I also need funds to send parcels to them all. 
Can we do this together dear helpers? let me know of ideas such as coffee mornings and sponsored runs or cycles... anything that can help this project - thank you!
