PENCIL CASES FOR STREET CHILDREN

The Friendship Circle at Cardonald Parish Church has knitted 460 pencil cases – one each for the children cared for by Dwelling Places, an organisation which works with street children in Kampala, Uganda.

Thanks to support from many people, and donations from Ryman’s and W H Smith, each pencil case contained a lead pencil, a coloured pencil, a small ruler, a rubber, a sharpener and gift cards from children at Cardonald Primary School. Cardonald’s minister, the Rev Gavin McFadyen, blessed the pencil cases before they were handed over to representatives of Dwelling Places UK.
