An African Orphanage

My friends told me about an African orphanage that needs help. They live on a mountain, and it gets cold there. Hearing about the cold mountain weather surprised me. I had the stereotypical view that Africa is always hot. Thinking about it, it’s a huge continent and must have all kinds of weather across it.

With tons of extra yarn in the house, I knitted and crocheted a bag of scarves for the kids. I meant to do a good deed and get rid of yarn scraps, but it’s more than that now. The orphanage has just had a huge influx of children, especially unwed teens with new babies. So, I’m off to the craft store to buy more yarn, baby yarn. I’m driven to do more for these children, whom I picture shivering with cold. As crazy as it sounds, this is my contribution to make their world a little better.
