Wool That Warms – and Says Thank You

Today, Cristina Pérez Ruiz from Spain introduces a Special Project which she coordinates as a psychologist.
A group of members of the Spanish National Organization for the Blind in the city of Malaga knit garments that are given to people in vulnerable situations.
Knitting brings many benefits to them, both instrumentally and emotionally.
Their motto is: YOU PROVIDE THE WOOL, I PROVIDE MY HANDS, THEY RECEIVE OUR WARMTH.
With the accompanying photo, they would like to thank all the people and organizations that donate wool to help them carry out this project.
And to commemorate the 200th anniversary of Braille, they do so by forming the word “THANK YOU” with balls of yarn.

Seven women are standing, each holding a piece of cardboard with a letter of the word "thank you" written in ink and Braille. Seven other women are seated, each holding a piece of cardboard with balls of yarn arranged like Braille dots, forming the word "thank you".

Un grupo de afiliadas a la Organización Nacional de Ciegos Españoles de la ciudad de Málaga confeccionan en punto a dos agujas prendas que se entregan a personas en situación vulnerable.
Tejer supone para ellas muchos beneficios tanto desde el punto de vista instrumental como emocional.
Con la foto que acompañamos quieren dar las gracias a todas las personas y entidades que les donan lanas para poder llevar a cabo este Proyecto.
Y conmemorando los 200 años del Braille, lo hacen formando la palabra GRACIAS con ovillos.
