Beanies for Nepal - let the faces speak for themselves







Michael Scutt, from the Rotary Club of Whangarei City has done regular work at Kumbeshwar Technical School in Kathmandu and it was there that the first Beanies were donated many years ago, these being the familiar black variety with our silver fern logo.! Since then, he has delivered hundreds of hand knitted Woollies to the Children of Nepal. ! ”I have even given them out on the side of the road…just seeing the looks on their faces when you give out some of your Woollies. It seems such a small gesture on our part but to the Children it is priceless!”

Nearly every year Michael and other members of the Club have taken to the School Numerous Beanies, Jumpers,”Fish and Chip” Blankets and Scarves hand knitted by Donors. He has also helped liaise with other aide programmes sponsored by Rotary to help provide financial assistance for buildings and Course Books for the School.
