I love Newtown. It's an area about a 15 minute walk west of me consisting of artsy, creative types. Lydia and I decided to take a break from our assignment due tomorrow for some knitting r&r at the Newtown Community Centre. This knitting club works to create rugs for a national organization called Wrap With Love which creates and donates rugs to the poor of the international community. It's quite an incredible organization and I'm glad to have something to do for the 13 hour drive I have to take for my last clinical in Broken Hill in a months time.
Grandma taught me how to knit about 15 years ago and I made a huge rainbow colored disgustingly inconsistent blanket. But, dammit, I was proud of it!
Well, on the walk back to uni, we encountered a house with notes laundry-clipped to its fence. The quotes and sayings were inspirational. So I decided to add my own. For those of you who don't know, a friend of mine has started a new NGO which aims to enrich the lives of children in poor communities. He's starting in Honduras and it's called www.enrichtheworld.org. I hope to be as motivated as he is one day. If you do plan to be in Latin America, please do swing by. There are heaps of opportunities to help.
