Toys for South Africa As you may be aware I am going out to South Africa again on 1 March for 10 weeks. I will be working with the Zanini Bantwana Team in the hospitals and helping with Aphiwe, the little blind boy Alan & Sheena have taken into their home to facilitate his attendance at the School for the Blind in Pietermaritzburg. When Patricia and I were in PMB in November we found it difficult to source suitable toys, and what we did find was very expensive. For this reason I am gathering up some toys to take out with me. If you have any of the following that your children no longer use, or you spy them in a charity shop, I would be grateful to receive them - Inset Boards, Puzzles with 4-100 pieces, Pegboards and pegs, Threading beads, Plastic Lacing/Sewing Cards, Nuts and bolts/ Construction toys, Hammer toys, Stickle Bricks, Billie & his Barrels or similar nesting toy that screws together, Lego, small toys for babies and children's bible storybooks. If you have any other 'educational' toys which you think might be useful they too will be gratefully received. Many thanks.

Can I ask if people will look in their hat box and bring to Fitzroy any hats or scarfs they no longer use. Also thanks to all who took some wool to knit a hat. There will be another evening, this time in the Manse on Wed 25th January at 7.30pm for anyone who would like to knit or learn to knit or crochet a hat or scarf. Please bring any odd balls of wool and knitting needles / crochet hooks if you have these. Winnie McColl, 14/12/2011 Permalink
