Its been a long way since we first started knitting these hats. Its been a fufilling experience to be able to make a difference in our community. This in particular has inpacted my life greatly for helping my community had never crossed my mind before i entered the IB program. Overall we made 220 hats that were donated to Siloam Mission which were distributed over new years eve. Unfortunetly, we never got to see the faces of the recepients; however we have the satisfation that 220 of Winnipegs homeless were going to be warm in this past winter. In the last 2 months i saw two homeless people with our hats. I cannot begin to express how happy i was to see the impact that a simple hat can do in a persons life. I honestly do not regret spending countless hours knitting to bring hope to those who desperatly need it. As a result, this experience has deffenetly chaged the way i feel about homeless people and hopefully i can continue to keep this group and cause going for years to come. The above link will direct you to CTV National with a small report made of the Esperanza project as well as the delivery of our hats.
