A need for blankets

May 2009

 21 Women in Provo, Utah tying quilts for Humanitarian Aid.

Yesterday, was a great day, where I was able to help make and tie four quilts 

for LDS humanitarian center. 

Check this out if you are interested in doing this on your own time.

They always have a need for something. 

You don't have to sew, you can put together hygiene kits, 

school supply kits and many other items.

 We had one of the largest turn outs for this usually small group.

I meet two woman visiting here from Bulgaria!

No matter what religious affiliation you are..what culture, nationality we can all do 

our part in bringing about small change to our ever growing world.

This is what we accomplished.

LDS Humanitarian

I have been participating in this great world wide cause for those that are in need of food, clothes,school supplies, medicine, medical equipment and much more for the past 5 years. 

Having extra time(not currently working) which is a whole "other story", this has given me the opportunity to contribute what I can to this wonderful and worth while charity. 

I have made 

*school bags.

*made over 40 + quilts of all sizes.

*Dolls

*fleece pull over tops

*winter caps

*small girl dress and skirts

*sewn cloth baby diapers

I don't mean to make this a brag, I am blogging this because, we all have our talents and strengths that can be of benefit to someone.

You can make a difference one stitch at a time!

Something Profoundly Beautiful..

I love Netflix. 

I really appreciate those individuals that produce,  and direct many great documentaries that Netflix carries to viewers out there.

Last night I watched a doc that is called "A Walk To Beautiful." (not to be confused with A Walk to Bountiful.)

This is about women(in this film about Ethiopian women) with serious health challenges. It will open your mind and give you an understanding of problems we cannot comprehend living in this great country. This is a touching and moving story of several women (in fact..thousand Ethiopian women.) who have Fistula.

This is Dr. Cathrine Hamlin

She and her husband were the

founders of this Women's Hospital.

I believe they are candidates for Saint Hood!

This is a must see experience.
