Message from Päivi
Hi! We are Päivi and Birgit from Finland. This summer (2014) we started to craft crochet dachshunds. A Friend of ours (a dachshund breeder) shared on Facebook our crachet dog images and soon after there were people, who wanted to buy the croched dachshunds Birgit had made! We decited to craft more dogs and endow GFA with gainings.
We want to support those, who live in the most vulnerable situation in Asia, poor widows! You are welcome to do this with us by buying a crochet dog or donating!
We have named our "kennel" as "Koukun kenneli" Which means "Kennel Hook" in english. Koukun kenneli has a website! Have a look! ppeittola.wix.com/koukunkennel
It´s in finnish, but there are lots of photos of the crochet dogs we have made!
Birgit is "the maker" (She has done crochets for years) and Päivi covers the body of the dog with woolcoat for those who want to buy a long-haired crochet dachshund.
This is fun! :D We enjoy to do this! And this is a missionwork we can do! For the love of Jesus!
In addition we have another campaign: sewing machines www.mygfa.org/6dq
About Widows
Upon becoming a widow in in some developing nations, a woman is often blamed for her husband's death and enters a life of shame. Burdened with the responsibility to care for her children alone, she is often forced into begging or even prostitution.
You donation will help GFA give widows a means of renewable income, like a sewing machine or farm animals. You'll also help with daily essentials, like blankets and water filters.
This support will be given through the local church, giving widows a chance to learn about the love of Jesus Christ.
