Dear Jen,
Our deepest sympathy for the loss of your life partner and dearest friend. Thirty four years is a wonderful span of time to have spent sharing so much together and so many incredible experiences.
Your collage of photographs is a great pr…

Spain wins. Orphaned children win.
Anyone with a deep concern for the plight of vulnerable and orphaned children should be interested in the outcome of this Soccer World Cup final. Undoubtedly the winning team of this international contest will receive massive publicity from all over the world. With a UNICEF ambassador for children on the team and seven others from this remarkable Barcelona club, one would hope that some of the media adulation, should they win, will fall on their extraordinary connection to suffering children.

The home that Stefanie built
We arrived through streets that once were the domain of the exclusively white, professional classes during the Apartheid days, and now teemed with school children, all black, in varying degrees of school dress.
At first glance they seemed just like any other carefree group of school children, but there was something mean about these streets, a place you would not wish to loiter or break down in your car.

Introducing Dawne
It was always intended to reach a wider audience about the wider issues surrounding orphaned and vulnerable children in Africa and what help we can bring to make a difference. The plight of the children is recognized by some world bodies and governments. However, the solution is not in sight either for the orphans already so compromised by the suffering they endure or for the children yet to be born in decades to come. To continue, click here.

Encouraging our new members, growing, nurturing and energising our community
Kalai has just written in Cafe KAS that overnight we achieved our 1000th
member, Anne Hart from the UK. Well done Anne and well done KAS!
We
have 1003 members today to be exact, but only a percentage of our
members are active in the forum discussions. People are busy and have
so much to fit into a day, so we are massively grateful that you find
the time to knit/crochet, and 'post' of the two varieties - parcels and
words in the forum! And we understand if you only have time for one.… Continue

A balance for KAS
Hello dear Kasers
There has been a discussion about postage issues in Canadian Corner, which brought to mind reflections which I thought to share with you all.
Hope you are following our South African journey with us www.allfororphans.com although I am already days
behind! We have been pretty hectic meeting and greeting and parcel
opening.

- I just discovered the hand puppet of Christine Johnson and I am trying to find the pattern which is said to be under: Easy Teddy hand puppett.
If you find it,could you please send me the link as I will have the Group have a go.
Many thanks and God bless. I did put our posters for the event to the College too and I do so hope for a great turnout on the day and also from the Camping nearby.
Myself and my Tutor and a collegue will be doing haircuts on the day it will be great, just hope to have clients. Bye for now.

- Dear Sandy it has been a near life time since last time I got back on line.
Seeing the Kas Cuddle told me how long I have been away and I have to catch up with so many changes indeed.
Every time I look at the pages I see they are made in different way and don't know everything.
Anyway, mainly to let you know that we will be holding, Sister for all, I mean our second: KAS Day, the 14th of August and we will be having a great Fundraising event offering: Cakes, Haircuts for Gents and Women, Angel's paintings, Books, Tombola , Free Knitting Tuitions and so on.
All the best.

Jenny Phillipson said… - Hi Sandy,
Just wanted to let you know that I've sent a parcel today, but forgot to put a note inside. I have put my name and address on top of the parcel.
I have included a number of finger puppet I have knitted and lots of crocheted jumpers. I hope you like them all and they bring some joy to many children. xx Jenny Phillipson, Staffs, UK.

Sue Brown said… - Dear Sandy,
As a new member of the UK Group, and an employee of an independent school in the UK (Personal Assistant to the Head), I am launching this week an appeal to all the pupils and their families to start knitting squares. I have no idea how many I will get - it could be just a few or it could be hundreds! I'm going to use your letter of introduction and then print my own instructions on the back. An announcement about the appeal will go into the school's newsletter, then anyone interested can pick up one of the instruction sheets. Wish me luck! I'll keep you posted. Sue.

- Dear Sandy, with the new group in mind I went on to the Home page and Resurces but every time I fill in the words I copy from the one I read it then comes up saying I wrote the wrong word.
I did try so many times and don't know what I am doing wrong.
I will need different resources and it will be nice to have access.
If you can please let me know how to go about it.

- Dear Sandy, it's me, Marina.
Just to keep you up to date: Little Angels didnt' agree to keep KAS so myself and other four members decided to leave, wish them well and start a new knitting group, just for KAS.
Is only five members including myself but small is beautifull.
We don't have a name yet but it will be decided in our first meeting the 13th of this month.
I also have a new friend: Serena Weeden from Poole and I invite her to our first meeting.
As we still have the 2 bags ready to send from December but no Funds, we decided to hold our KAS Fundraising event knit on the go for August and we will be selling: bric a brac, cakes and I will be offering my services with hair cuts all to raise money to pay for post and packages in order to send the bags overdue and hopefully what we will knit and crochet in the future.
I will let you know when we are able financially to send the two parcels.
There are such good things in there, honest, I can't wait for you to receive them.
As the College and hairdressing is taking all the time I notice the big changes in the KAS Site and still to come to grips with some of the things like the Gift which I don't know yet what it is and how to use.
Bye for now. All the best.

Rona Malewit said… - SANDY, Debbie has a wonderful idea for a fundraiser to use in our school to raise money for postage -- selling coffee that her neighbor's company makes (roasted & packaged via local resources here in Colorado Springs), with the KAS logo and URL printed on the front label, so the buyers would see it every day and can visit the KAS URL, if you'll allow us to do that. We'll forward you the details - the cost per bag would be $12, and we would earn $3 per bag sold. We've tasted it and it's comparable to the leading brands!!! We're very excited about this, and hope we can get the principal's approval to distribute flyers to all of the parents at the school to drum up sales towards our squares postage!

- So glad to hear you have received $3004 from various wonderful people.
The scrapbooks - which I have just read about in you ezine are a great idea and I will be scouring the old magazines in our local library (they sell for .20p) ! Just a thought - will Ronda have to pay the S.A. postage Tax if scrap books are sent to the KAS, Soweto Comfort Club I wonder? What do you think? I hope you enjoyed your well earned break. Bye for now.
