Knitting club in Luzira women’s prison

Uganda is located on the equator and it can get very cold there. The prisoners’ uniforms do not provide for warm clothing. This made the idea of a volunteer to bring wool for the women in Luzira Women’s Prison to knit yellow sweaters all the more sensible. We first obtained permission from the prison warden for the women to wear the sweaters they had made. A prison officer, who is excellent at both crocheting and knitting, will instruct the interested inmates and a knitting club has already been set up. We are delighted with this wonderful gift, for which we are all very grateful.
