The pillowcases are completed for the Pillowcase Project and I am rejoicing!
There are now 130 pillowcases destined for children in China at an orphanage near Fuzhou in Chen Shang.
This week Angie and I will meet with Jenine, a Canadian ex-pat who is the contact person and a perpetual volunteer advocate for this orphanage. We will make final plans to visit as a small group in early November for several days.
It's a 20-hour train trip one way and of course a 20-hour train trip back. In between I hope to make the most of my time in an environment I have never been in - an orphanage at the foot of a mountain in China.
We will be interacting with the children in the evenings and soaking up all sorts of stories that I plan to retell in my blog. Expect a bunch of photos, too!
Every fiber and stitch has been lovingly donated and I'm so excited!
Can you find our llittlest helper Jack among these gifts of LOVE?
Thanks for Reading,
Cricket
