Welcome to LesBoisArts - Hand in Hand Program
» A Global Community
The Hand in Hand program has taken on the task of bringing awareness and participation about the enormous mortality rate for children under five -- 10 million per year. America is not excused from this either. This is happening in your local community right now.
"Nearly 60 percent of infant deaths occur in the first month of life. Among those, more than three-quarters (3 million per year) die in their first week. And up to half (2 million per year) die in their first 24 hours. Nearly all newborn and maternal deaths (99 and 98 percent, respectively) occur in developing countries where pregnant women and newborns lack access to basic health care services – before,during and after delivery." World Health Organization, The Lancet, Newborn and Child Health, Population Reference Bureau
We have designed a tentative five year program which needs your help. You as an individual are needed to knit or crochet a hat and/or scarf for these young people. While your hands are busy making a hat you may lose weight or feel calmer.
For many fiber artists and designers promoting is a difficult task. You'd rather be knitting. Or organizing. Or crocheting. Or writing a new design. Creating is what
you live to do. We know that. Let us help promote your craft, group or charity.
