Ongoing Humanitarian Project for new mothers here in Guatemala City that need assistance

There has been a humanitarian project for new mothers who do not have the resources to pay for their child's birth or even cloth their newborns.  The Senior Missionaries here in the area have adopted a project of making blankets and putting together newborn kits and collecting money for this most worthy cause.

Good friend and relative Geneva Stringham of Salt Lake City heard of the project and spread the word to her ward. Many contributed to the efforts of making the blankets.  The Mia Maids from Geneva's ward plus her granddaughters Alyson and Katie.  Julia Stringham Allen, Geneva's daughter, had her Beehives in Young Women help with the project also. Geneva's Granddaughter Alyson Stringham had a blanket making party at her home with her Young Women class.  All  put forth a wonderful effort in making blankets and filling them with a baby onesie and booties.  One of the Sister Missionaries, Lynda Hill has a son Kyle Robertson who does not live far from Geneva and brought down the kits in a huge duffle bag as he made his way here to Guatemala City to visit his parents.  Following are pictures.
