Lovely day today Language Books & Knitting

Been a busy day today... I ran out of wool for a multicoloured cardigan I am knitting for Leen so had to nip up to Uxbridge to the wool shop.  Met a lovely Swedish lady on the bus and had a good chin wag on darn Brexit and also talked about my Family Link Up project too... She was so interested.  I had to nip into Bovilles Art supplies shop to laminate some teaching material and it made me feel I wish I had some funds to get all the art materials for Boshra that she needs to build up through art and sale of artwork. 

When I got back home the Dutch English books I had ordered from Amazon arrived. These are to help not only Leen but Boshra and her husband vocabulary build for their settlement in Belgium.

I will scan some pages and make up some slides with Arabic translations too. It is so important to cultivate & continue polyglot skills in Leen and Celine as they grow.. the more languages the better it is for all to understand one another.. Plus it is fun.  These books are helping me too... as I see the story in English I can spot words in Dutch... lol for example as I look at the page on the mother and daughter baking together ... I have learnt the word for drippy = druipend..!

 The Picture Dictionary is useful too.

 I have been knitting up this wacky beautiful multicoloured Twinkle yarn by James C Brett Ltd Lulu Blanche one of my cats has been inspecting the knitting... 

And as you can see below she seems to have given it an happy approval..

I am planning to visit the family members in Belgium for my birthday to link up Leens school with the local one here. Leen is doing well with her Dutch learning and so is Boshra... All are trying hard to keep all the languages rich and bountiful for any future work opportunities.  Boshra is keen to develop her art skills and has a huge pull towards glass painting and artwork.  
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 so important - to respect their livelihoods.  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!
