Life2Orphans Hat Project
The Life2Orphans HAT PROJECT was begun in honor of Lilla Fields (aka Gammy). This special Grandmother's love of knitting and crocheting was the inspiration for this very important and very successful project! The goal of our hat project is to provide handmade hats for every child in the Life2Orphans orphanages - NEARLY 6000 children!! The hats can be crocheted, knitted, sewn - if they are handmade, they count!
HERE are some
EASY Hat patterns!
|
As of February 20, 2007, hats have been handmade with love for 4,508 children.
|
Even if you're not a knitter, there are many other ways you
can help the children!
Just click on any of the orphanage names to view
their individual needs and special projects!!
