Just wanted to let you know about an opportunity to reach out to the children living in an orphanage in Haiti. As you are aware, back in early January Haiti experienced its worst earthquake in 200 years. It’s capital city has been reduced to rubble and the body count is estimated to be at least 170,000.

Sarah Hanson, of Dolly Donations, has partnered with the Abundant Ground Foundation, which houses 181 orphaned children in Haiti. Sarah has organised an appeal calling all crafters to make and donate a doll, which will be given to the children in this orphanage. It is a practical and tangible means of showing the children that we are thinking of them, praying for them, and want to help them in any way that we can.

Dolls are required to be at the Abundant Ground Foundation’s office in New York (before they are transferred to Haiti) by March 14. Sarah also provides a free pattern for a sweet little dolly that can be made by all crafters – no matter what your dolly-making experience :-)

Find all the details (and link to free pattern) here: The Abundant Ground Foundation – Haiti Orphanage – Active Dolly Drive

Hope you’ll be able to get involved!
