The children, staff and volunteers of Maesmarchog bringing joy and hope to many in need

God sometimes plants people in our paths for a reason.  At St.Mary's Church we met a lovely lady called Gloria who rang me about 2 weeks ago.  Gloria and her friend, Kathleen give up a lot of their free time teaching children at Maesmarchog School (in our local village) to knit.  For months they have been knitting squares to make colourful blankets and have also been creating beautiful knitted soft toys for poor and vulnerable children in Romania.

Last week I was invited up to talk at the School Assembly about life in Romania and the Children's Projects. It was a joy to share value time with the staff, volunteers and 90 pupils, many of whom came up with some interesting questions.  They presented me with 3 boxes filled with the various items for which we and the children of Romania say Thank You.  Here they are with some of their beautiful creations.
