This winter a group of us made 50 crocheted toys for the pediatric cancer patients here in Bahrain. They will be distributed to children as they come for their treatments.
Then we received a grant from a nonprofit in Bahrain to add a Bahrain coloring book made by local artists and a box of crayons to each handmade toy.
We delivered the packages to Salmaniya Medical Center’s Patient Relations Office this week. There are 13 patients there this week who will each receive a package. As new patients come, they will have one waiting for them.
I wasn’t much of a crocheter, (mostly I had made potholders before this) but this project was a motivating one to join because of the cause. I made a turtle and baby turtle because it seemed like an easier animal to attempt, as I am not much for following patterns.
