I'm still here!!!

Hello friends...

 

So sorry we haven't chatted for a while!  I had a bad fall about 6 weeks ago and, while nothing was broken (thank goodness), I injured my hip and my elbow quite badly.  I was attending a funeral and it had been raining and I slipped and fell.  I am SO much better now so am able to travel again and come to Knit-A-Square which is great...

 

I have missed chatting to all of you and spending time opening packages every Thursday.  I am now working on a project with people living in a hostel called Nancefield Hostel in Soweto.  It is situated near to Baragwanath Hospital and an enormous shopping centre called Maponya Mall.  Dudu, the lady I have been communicating with, has opened a creche within the hostel and looks after about 120 children aged between 6 months and 6 years.  There are also older children who come to the creche after school to be supervised while doing their homework etc.  I have put up some pictures from Nancefield for you to see.

 

Wandi was not able to make it to Knit-A-Square today but I am sure she is looking forward to chatting to you next week...

 

We will be doing some distributions in the next few weeks and will definitely be posting some lovely pics for you to see.

 

Take care - chat soon.

    Hi Lindi, I too wondered how you were doing and I'm glad you are up and about again.  That must have been a terrible fall !

    It is wonderful that Dudu has opened a creche.....120 children means 4200 squares.  We should be able to do that :-)

    I hope Wandi is feeling better this week.

    Hi Lindi

    Dear Lindiwe, thank you so much for letting us know how you're doing.  What a nasty fall! I'm so glad you're on the mend now.  Do take it easy.  Nancefield Hostel sounds wonderful, so many people being helped.  I too, hope to see some pictures soon.  Say hello to Wandi for us when you see her and take care will you?  No more dancing around in the rain! (just kidding, I know how slippery it can get)  You take care of yourself or we'll have to send you lots of pillows to tie around yourself for padding when you go outside.  (what a sight that would be eh?) ;)

      Hello Lindiwe. So sorry to hear you had a bad fall but pleased that there were no broken bones. It is so good to hear from you. Your news about the projects you are working on and the distributions does so much to help us all to feel connected with the work in South Africa. Look forward to hearing from you and from Wandi again soon.

    Hi Lindi,

    I did miss you and wonder if all was well - I'm so pleased that you have now recovered from your fall and it's good to have you back. Looking forward to seeing your pictures

    Love, Christine
