Keith, a big burly Aussie with a walrus mustache, brought some small gifts for the children. One little girl was so fascinated by this giant of a man, she ran over and clasped her palms together in front of her in the Thai fashion or 'wai', then threw her arms around one of his legs and hugged him. He was so moved by this small child that he told the story to his two aunts back in Australia. They, being of good heart, began knitting dolls for these unfortunate children and have been sending over knitted dolls ever since that first visit.

A big hug and thank you from the children to the two grannies so far in distance but very near in spirit of compassion.. (Note: Typical of the spunk of Australian women, Kitty and Ivy joined the home army during World War II and worked on the Australian railroad.)
