Thank You Cards Ordered

Rather than use "normal" thank-you stationary, we want to do something special for those who are donating hats to LCH.

I'm very excited to report we were able to get the thank-you cards ordered that we wanted to order. A Woodstock student who will be pursuing a nursing/medical career drew a breathtaking piece of art while visiting Duncan Hospital in Raxaul, Bihar, during the winter.

I won't share it here, but it's been described as "amazing" and "powerful", and will be the image on the thank-you cards! We're very grateful that she is allowing us to use this piece for our cards.

Thank You, Jonesboro Heights Baptist Church!

Some staff members here at Woodstock have had their church involved in making hats for some time now, but it was only recently (I think just before midterm break) that the most recent box arrived, and it was chock full of beautiful knitted hats! I counted 142 - I'm fairly certain I miscounted somewhere, and it's more like 145.

I'd like to take a moment to thank the church for their continued support and effort in helping provide hats to the families of those who use Landour Community Hospital. Your very generous donations of time in making and sending the hats really do help make a difference to a project of this size.

When I brought these to Dr Roopa, she was so relieved - this will help get them through the summer months. She and the nurse when I dropped them off spent a lot of time feeling them, and especially liked how these were nice and stretchy and were in so many different colours.

Thank you again!

March Tally

As impromptu a start as it was, we managed to make/collect 18 hats for March (with the 16 that were needed).

April is moving slowly but steadily - I found some hats that I'd put somewhere in the past and uncovered them, and we had someone crochet 10 over the midterm break. I've been told there's a box that has come from a church in the USA, full of hats for LCH: hopefully I will be able to check them out and count them tomorrow, when I head over to the hospital!
