We’ve sent out over 100 sacks full of warm woolies so far, thanks to your support. There is no deadline for this appeal; whilst the need is urgent, we will keep sending consignments when we have enough kning and the funds to pay for transport. If you can spare a lile money towards the transportaon costs that would be a big help. Why not ask friends and relaons to sponsor your kning.
