Hats Off to Hope


These are the last five hats I have made. One of the hats had shown as dark and light blue previously. This image shows it really is black and grey. 

The hats will be going, along with the rest of the hats I have made, recently to The Hope Project in Lesvos, Greece. 

"We have been helping refugees arriving in Lesvos since early 2015. Lesvos is no stranger to refugees but the increase in conflict and the closure of safer land routes have force refugees to flee by sea both in the Aegean and the Mediterranean. 

These crossings are dangerous and many do not make it to the 'safety' of shore. For those that make it they soon realize that the hardship is just beginning. Some of the islands of Greece have become a prison for refugees. 

Here in Lesvos the overcrowding and conditions are some of the most horrific, people are deprived of their dignity and treated in ways that should not be accepted in Europe. We do what we can to make a difference and to empower and restore dignity to as many people as we can."
