Thank you to Chris Chiplen for inspiring us with a beautiful, mindful umbrella.....

Our Umbrella Theme for 2019 is….. CHILDREN ….. for they are the focus of all that we do!

C Colour….. We can help bring colour into the lives of children with all that we make and send.

H Happiness….We hope that what we send brings each child warmth and a little happiness.

I I can make a small, but significant difference to the lives of orphaned and vulnerable children, from the comfort of my own home.

L Love…. We hope the children feel the love and care crafted into every stitch.

D Delivery …. We all need to make and send as much as we are able, to ensure that every needy child has a blanket, hat, hand warmers and a toy delivered to them by Ronda and her wonderful team.

R Remember that whenever Ronda receives a parcel from each of us, whether it be large or small she has to pay the same post office charge. So one larger parcel is better than two smaller ones!

E Every time we send a parcel, please put a zero value on the custom form, or Ronda will be charged a custom duty that she can’t afford.

N May the caring hearts and hands of our KAS members, from the many nations of the world, continue to work together in 2019 to help bring warmth and a little joy to vulnerable children in South Africa.
