    Can A Hat Save a Life?

    By lisastring  |  Posted November 20, 2008  |  Louisville, Kentucky
     

     

    I am a teacher at a K-12 independent school in Kentucky.

     

     

    Students in my community service group Stitch for a Cause have been

    making baby caps for Save the Children's Knit One, Save One

    campaign.

     

     

    The students learned that over 4 million newborns die each

    year in developing countries due to preventable causes, like

    hypothermia.

     

     

    Students in third grade through high school have

    been making baby caps and writing letters to our new President asking

    for more US support for programs that can make a difference for

    kids around the world.

     

     

    Charlie is one of my fifth graders and has become an

    excellent knitter in a very short time. I hope the President and

    others will listen to these children's voices and do more to help

    other kids in need.
