A Quilt for the Children's Home
18 August 2009
Shelley Gray, a donor who has sponsored the work of the Foundation in the Philippines for a long time now and is also a member of the Tauranga Patchwork and Quilters Group came up with the idea of making quilts to brighten the floors and walls of the Ruel Foundation's Children's House.
Before she new it the first quilt was made. This one shown is by Robin Dimmock and Sandra Bentley and has a lovely woodland scene on one side and the reverse is a great boys theme, cars! Well done to these two, I'm sure the children will appreciate having these to play on or look at. We can't wait to see what else is made.
Keep watching this space as when new ones are made I will endeavour to take photos before they disappear and show them off. We will also be looking forward to photos from the Philippines showing the children enjoying them.
THANK YOU SO MUCH ALL YOU DEDICATED QUILTERS!

Ruel, our namesake, was found suffering from malnutrition in a hospital due to a cleft lip with cleft palate. He was unable to suckle properly or ingest food to satisfy his growing body. His mother could not afford the surgery to rectify this ailment, or the nutrients necessary to provide her child with an adequate diet. Thanks to the simple surgery to rectify this problem Ruel is now a happy and healthy little boy.
