These 3 lovely ladies are all over 90 years of age, they've been knitting Izzy Dolls for months for the team to take to the Dominican. Thank you so much Marjorie, Joyce and Sybil, we really appreciate it.
In case you didn't know, Izzy Dolls are made in honour of Master Corporal Mark Isfeld, who was killed while serving in Croatia on June 21, 1994. When Mark was serving on Peacekeeping missions, he saw that the children of the countries he was visiting had no toys. Personal possesions are often lost during wars. His mother Carol Isfeld knitted these dolls for Mark to share, and his fellow soldiers continued after Mark's death. We now keep the tradition alive, by having wonderful knitters knit the dolls for us to bring on our humanitarian trips in health care. Thank you so much!
Thanks for all your help ladies! Your smiles will travel with the dolls because they were made with Grandmotherly love!
