After having been exhibited and admired by the many visitors from Maison Jésus-Marie, the hundreds of knitted items were given out to fulfill their true mission: that of warming up the children and the hearts of those who will benefit from them. Tuques, mitts, scarves and small blankets have been distributed to the Fondation du Docteur Julien to keep children warm.
Several bags of tuques, scarves and 9 x 9 inch squares have been sent to Lesotho, in Africa. Sister Gisèle Foucreault’s boarders and students will be able to make a blanket or poncho, to their liking. A third lot of knitwear was also given to organizations in the area that assist refugees and street people to meet the current needs.
