International Day of Families

Today is International Day of Families.. UN International Day of Families so it is important to remember those families that are scattered in the world having had to flee for safety.  
I have just been in Skype call with Dante in Turkey and families are busy trying to prepare for Ramadan.  Mama is visiting some of our sick family members and friends in hospital today.  I have been in contact with Boshra in Belgium and over the last week you will have seen from my last post been in a knitting mode..... it helps me while I cannot travel to Belgium to see Boshra and the girls as like when ever I knit for my family and this dear family now I can knit my loves and hugs in with every stitch.  So finished off some wool into two bolero style cardigans... and yesterday in our local wool shop in Hayes found some lovely random coloured wool that will go nicely with the fun buttons I got in the Canal Fair at the Bank holiday.... see photos below. 
If only I had funds coming in I could get materials for the womenfolk in both Turkey and Boshra in Belgium to make this too. So much I could do if I had the funds to get projects on the go.  
I am struggling financially myself but I will do without to help this family... as I am so committed to their lives being rebuilt.

Parcel just been sent in the post now with two cardigans and the educational laminated sheet for letters and numbers that I got at the Canal Fair.
It would be good to get more interactive books and bilingual books plus education games and toys. Also some art materials for Boshra so she can paint and sell her artwork in the local markets and online. 
I am a hand to hand link up
