"THE NIT PICKERS"




These are the "Nit Pickers of Napanee who are helping to knit touques for the children of THE VILLAGE OF HOPE. in Burkina Faso a small country in West Africa. There are three hundred children being looked after in this village . As you know Denise is walking from Burlington ont. to Melfort Sask. to raise funds for this village. Denise and her husband Paul have made several mission trips to the village and surrounding area Digging wells, health clinics, and building homes for these orphans. A women from the Church in Burlington decided to try to get touques made for each of the children and we are helping with that. This group of older ladies met at Margret
Rivers home on East st. She provided a lovely tea with strawberry short cake and whipped cream. So we have all gone home now to knit.
bye for now Ruth
