Their Only Gift
Posted on | November 18, 2007
A recent distribution of quilts and blankets, made in America, brought smiles, warm feelings and expressions of appreciation from a number of new mothers at the Lumbadzi Health Care Center north of the capital city of Lilongwe.
The blankets were gifts from individuals and organizations in America that consistently make and send the quilts to the families in celebration of the birth of their new babies. In most cases the quilt or blanket is the only gift a new mother will receive in recognition of the birth of her baby.
One of those organizations is the Busy Bee Quilting Group from Greenwood, Indiana. For a number of years this group has consistently prepared large numbers of quilts and blankets for the mothers of Malawi.
