Can A Hat Save a Life?

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.

 

 

In response to assignment: Dear Mr. President
