women4women-knitting4peace creates scarves for children and youth in impoverished areas where temperatures can be cold and warm clothing is scarce or non-existent. We also create festive “fashionista”scarves for children and teens who attend clinics run by Global Dental Relief Project in villages of India, Nepal, Vietnam, & Guatemala. Each patient gets to choose a scarf when the dental examination is complete. As they wear their banner of success around their village they create interest and excitement among other children who then choose to participate, too. Through this process all the village children learn about dental hygiene and subsequently teach the rest of their community.
