Ladies at Castleisland Day Care Centre have been busily knitting over the past few months.
All the items which include over 40 knitted blankets, baby wear and knitted toys will be donated to orphanages in Belarus, where the knitted products will make a huge difference.
February to May Knitting
“Knitting is an activity which we look forward to at the beginning of every year,” according to Nurse Manager Marcella Finn – as she explained how the project came about.
“We usually start the knitting project during February and work through until the beginning of May.
Work and Goodwill
“Every year it astonishes us the amount of work and goodwill which goes towards this project.
“We are always delighted when we see all our hard work being packed and taken by the Hanafin family of Ballymacelligott, where they ensure that is it given directly to the people that are most in need.
Thanks to All
“Castleisland Day Care Centre would like to thank everyone who took part, either by generously giving their time by knitting or by donation knitting wool. Let’s hope that all our knitted items will be well used in Belarus,” said Marcella.
The Maine Valley Post has, is and always will be a free resource for the people of the locality and its wider diaspora.
When we started in 2013, the intention was to be a weekly, online newsletter. Over time, the site has evolved into a much different beast with multiple updates on a daily basis.
Because of its nature as a digital publication, it brings with it certain expenses: computers and cameras that require updating and maintenance; internet hosting and access; to say nothing of the time and hard work that goes into the site. It all adds up…
Our online community has always been our greatest asset and a vocal supporter of the Maine Valley Post since day one.
