Layettes, a Blessing to Those Without Much

Our friend Linda and her group kindly donated layettes (pre-packaged newborn kits- with hand knit items) to be distributed to pregnant women during our outreaches. During our recent travel to the raw enoz we found a lady, having just the need. We felt blessed to be able to pass along a gift so small, yet will be able to make a large difference to her and her entire village! Why the village you might ask? Because, in this culture, anything owned is shared throughout the community; so this layette will in turn be passed around a number of times to other villagers for their use too!

I think this lady was initially a little confused as to why we singled her out for this bundle, but our friend helped translate what the items were to be used for.

Thank you Linda and your loving group of ladies who hand made these packages! We can’t wait to bring more on our next trip!
