Sweet, thoughtful, merciful Junie Moon is calling all knitters and crocheters to her Bandage Brigade. She is declaring the month of January 2008, a month to knit or crochet bandages for the lepers in hospitals in Vietnam and Africa. Missionaries and U.S. military veterans organizations hand-deliver these bandages to leprosy patients in the hospitals by carrying them in their luggage. June has agreed to collect any bandages you make and send them off to those who need them.
Would you like to join the Bandage Brigade? Even if you don't knit or crochet, you can help June by spreading the word. June will supply you with patterns and sizes for knitted and crocheted bandages. Please click here to find out more about how you can help.
Another helpful site: Leprosy Bandages where you will find patterns for the bandages and helpful tips and suggestions.
"Love one another, just as I have loved you."
~Jesus (John 15:12)
Thank you so much for spreading the word on this endeavor. My heart is truly content knowing that so many people are willing to "give unto others."
