For my service learning project I am going to be knitting hats for a the Blue Sky Healing Home Orphanage in China. My friends, the Paynes, adopted a little boy there. I took interest in this certain project because Allison Wenner did a really fun service learning project back in 2011. She had people come over make blankets an orphanage in china. The orphanage needs supplies to keep the kids warm. So I thought that I would make hats. Allison made over 100 fleece blankets and it really made a difference for the place she sent them too. The kids needed to share the blankets because they really don't have that much supplies.
It really isn't fair for little babies to be cold. Hopefully I will make a little kid more comfortable. The orphanage is in a cold part of China and the building doesn't look that well made. I don't think that there is much heat in the building so I hope that these hats will make a difference. There are many orphanages in China, but this one isn't as well known so I think it is good that I am sending these to a rural place. I don't want these kids to think that they are forgotten and I want to make a little difference in their lives.
