I donated some of my best early work to the Sunshine Internet Guild’s HEAT FUND AUCTION (2000 & 2001), which was a joint effort of the Armenian and American Embassies and was run by the Midland Bank of England to raise money to heat orphanages overseas.
When I am able I make quilts for the Sunshine Internet Guild, which in the past sent quilts to those in need overseas through the International Red Cross. They are now supporting Wrap-a-Smile which is part of a Rotary program called Rotaplast. Rotaplast sends medical teams to Venezuela, Chile, Bolivia, China, Viet Nam, and Romania to perform cleft lip/cleft palate surgery on children. Wrap-a-Smile is an arm of that project and provides quilts for each child to be wrapped in after surgery. The children keep the quilts and take them home.
