Hi everyone, how lovely to have been featured in this online City Press piece  in South Africa and to have Lindiwe featured.  It is right at the bottom and the links don't actually take you to anything about Lindiwe, but none the less it is a great piece.

Ronda's quote is touching and adds a very special dimension to what you are all doing:

 

... the blankets are just the currency to get to the children to tell them exactly how beloved they are. We tell them they are the future, unique and special.

 

Dawne has written a great post about this on All for Orphans, which you can read here.

 

By the way, Ronda has decided Facebook is an easier more efficient means for her to keep in touch with you, so if you aren't a member of our Facebook Group, this would be a great time to join up.  So much online activity - bound to grow our members on a daily basis.  FABULOUS!

  • i have a facebook account although i do not visit it much and i would prefer visiting the site more often than logging in to my facebook! call me old fashioned!LOL i just think that as i started to come to love this community i also came to love the site itself and hopefully i can learn more and be udpdated with other members in here as well although i congratulate the site for trying to reach out to a larger population by setting up a facebook page, we should really try to embrace technology once in a while.

    • Well, I am using my Twitter account (very strange beast Twitter) to publicize various photos so people can come here and see them.  It's fast and easy---crucial for my brain, LOL.  It's fairly easy to put a photo up on Facebook from here...just do "copy URL" instead of copy picture and it works fine.  It's very heartening to see KAS come up so often on search engines now.  The more we can help the children, the brighter this world gets. :)

  • Gosh Anne, I just saw your comment and realised how old this thread was as Kalai says we are just a few short of 3,000 now on Facebook.  Amazing.  But you are right all the platforms need to be kept up to date to suit the ways in which people like to get information.  Some will just not be as regular, whereas FB is if not daily at least weekly.

    • I haven't really been following Facebook but gosh what a lot is on there - a bit of a shame I think that so much is there and not on the forum as a lot of people are missing out.  I know Pam A does a great job of copying things across.  You can be on Facebook and not let people see anything much about you - just sign up to keep watching KAS.

      • I think we need to "cross pollinate" as in bring FaceBook stuff here as well and there is now a discussion thread just for FaceBook news so I hope everyone checks that. :)

  • Hi Sandy 

    I know I'm a bit late on this discussion but I just felt the need to comment on Dawne's article.  It's so good to read all that positivity.  You and the family do such a wonderful job.

    I'm not on facebook although I'm fairly comfortable about writing on this site that's as far as it goes for me.  Both my children have encouraged me to sign up but it's just not a step I wish to take.

    Best of luck and love to you all.

  • Just checked our facebook members and we now have 665!!! How awesome is that? In three weeks we have gained 213 "likes".

     

    Love it!

    • 709 likes. In one month we had 257 new likes. AWESOME!
  • What I have noticed about Facebook is that I can post threads and photos from here on our KAS FaceBook page but it doesn't STAY on the main page, the one I believe people see first.  It always gets rerouted onto the "Knit A Square and others" page.  Is that any help at all?  Should I still keep posting if the links aren't on the main page?  Yes? No?
    • Hi Jeanne

       

      Yes, keep posting, people just need to remember when they come onto the page to click knit-a-square and others. I'm not sure if this can be changed or not but I am looking into these things. Still having you guys post has made a great difference! We have 76 more people in just a week!!

       

      Thanks everyone x x x
