Knitting poem by one of our friends!

Knitting

is the creative language of Unity and International Collaboration.

According to the Book of Song, it began even before we were born!

For You created my inmost being.   You knit me together in my mother’s womb.                 Psalm 139:13 (NIV)

Uniting to KNIT

you knit to UNITE!

 

Knitting is a movement.

It is a movement

of our hands and our fingers

with our hearts

and our minds

with a vision

and a mission

to join and mend the lives of broken families

to intertwine the fabrics of health, wealth and society

to weave the threads of hope for the future

empowering women and girls

supporting men, boys and livelihood

and covering the little ones

with garments of love and care

with warmth and protection

with beauty and fashion

beginning with the weakest link

mothers and babies

securely joined together

from individuals to groups

from grassroots to world leaders

through frontiers and beyond borders

apolitical

non-invasive

non-intrusive

non-denominational

non-cultural

while preserving values and traditions

nurturing an amicable and safe space

promoting friendship and teamwork

in the home, community, city and country.

 

Catch the global vision:

Knit to UNITE

Unite to KNIT !!!
