Many thanks to the Ladies from Arnside
This school, in a particularly impoverished area has been lacking toilets – but not any more. Thanks to the generosity of Irish Aid, N4BW has been able to build six new toilets on the school site.Members of the Arnside Stitch-in-Time Group have generously donated a suitcase full of goodies to be taken out by Alice and Marian as they travel to Malawi. As well as knitted baby blankets, hats and jumpers the ladies have made and donated ladies washable hygiene kits. Zikomo kwambiri!
