My story
Sponsor a Square and patch up India!
Young and old all over the country,( c/o Jam packed full of Life, Super Jam), are knitting hundreds of square patches. We need you to sponsor a square (or even a couple of squares!) for as little as £1. Every square sponsored gets stitched on to a blanket by us, team sewathon. These hand made blankies will then personally be taken to Snehalaya Orphanage in India, and given to disadvantaged children. For every child to get a blanket we need approx. 500 sponsored squares.
These children who will receive the blankets are truly amazing. Most have disabilities and have led a very difficult life living in government orphanages, yet they are full of sparkle. Now, with the opening of Snehalaya Care Home, they have real opportunities for a more dignified, independent, safe and happy life. These kids are super inspiring.
The money raised will be spent on supplies for the children and orphanage, and to continue and support building work enabling the expansion of Snehalaya, to rescue more children. A couple of pounds can stretch a long way in India. For more info see www.helpchildrenofindia.org.uk or e-mail fiona_inglis@yahoo.co.uk
Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. Gwalior Children's Hospital gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation. Its dead quick and easy.
UPDATE: we have well over 1000 squares and counting! Thank you knitters! Now we need them sponsored-please help spread the word. Thanks again x
Thank you very much x
