Month of Love

I am happily blending my love for knitting with my love for the Family I am befriending.  In the love of knitting I have rediscovered my love for Arran knitting. I used to knit a lot of Arran garments for my own family when I first had my children so full of fond memories.  I have just finished a Gillet (Waistcoat) and thoroughly enjoyed this. The twist of the stitches is brilliant to create an extra layer for warmth.  I have more wool to knit up some smaller ones for the children too. 
I have to post this out to the family members in Turkey as they have been struggling with the cold weather.  Sadly we did not have a response for our call for funds for firewood....My skype call checks and chats reassure me that even though they have had the usual coughs and colds over all they are doing OK. One cousin however has a kidney problem and will need an operation. 

I have been also helping with a local school here to forge links for us to help address educational needs too.  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 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!
