Happy Birthday Isabelle.....I hope you have a lovely day.  :))

Hello Isabelle. I've translated quite a bit of the KAS info and some of the patterns. I'm gradually working through them. I started mainly with crochet, as I crochet rather than knit. But I've had to rapidly translate some knitting ones as most of the enquiries I have from local people are for knitting patterns.If you give me your e-mail address I'll send you what I've done so far. I try to do at least 1 per day, but got behind recently.XXX

Hi.

Best wishes for the New Year...with lots and lots of squares!

I tried to contact you a few months ago about sending you squares etc. for KAS. Can you let me have your address so that I can send my things to you. It would certainly help my finances to be able to send part of my things via you.

Thank you for your help.

Hi Isabelle,

Wishing you a Happy Birthday !  Or as we say in Canada "Bonne fête"

Enjoy your day.

Hi Isabelle, I hope your trip is going well.  I used 3 of your photo's with the French translation that you sent me to bring KAS to the attention of my neighbour who works in a retirement home and a friend who is a special needs teacher in 3 local schools.  Your photographs really show the human face of this tragedy and I am sure that when people see the faces of the children, they will be moved to help.

My sister also works with special needs children in the UK.  She told me about a 6 year old boy who really struggled at school but was persuaded to join the knitting group.  He has become an excellent knitter and even made his mum a hat and scarf for Christmas! It's also helped his concentration and coordination.

Hello Isabelle - thanks for putting these lovely photographs up !  And thanks, too, for the squares, soft toys and kids' clothing you brought to SA ... Wandi is involved in a big outreach project on 20th August to feed and clothe MANY needy children, so you have helped start her collection and she is thrilled !!  Lindi has the flu today so she stayed in bed.

See you soon - thanks again - love Ronda and all on the KAS team in Jhb xxx

Isabelle,

Loved that article about you in the latest ezine!  I think you're utterly amazing.  If I had your hectic schedule, I would use any "down" time I had to recover!  Instead, you fill your off-hours with work for others.  Really inspiring!

On the practical level, I very much enjoyed the picture of you with your arms full of little knitted dolls.  Could you tell me if the pattern for those dolls is available on the KAS website?  Thanks, and bravissima!

About the website: well, they still need 2000 words, and you could pass that on to your friends (if you want to).

About the flyer: That's great! They'll definitly break down the language barrier!

I was looking around charities and found OLPC (one laptop per child). Long story short, they are a big charity that needs help translating their material into multible languages, including french. If you want to help them in your free time when you aren't helping KAS, here is the website.  http://translate.sugarlabs.org/ It's just translation words, phrases, and sentences. I just thought I should mention it since you are bilingual. I'm not advocating this over KAS, it's more of a free time thing. Sorry if I'm annoying you.

P.S. They mention something about having an account on there to be able to translate. You can trust this charity, it's 100% legit.

P.S.S. How is the flyer going? I haven't seen it in other languages yet. Have fun in South Africa!
