Knitted and Crocheted Toys
Knitted and crocheted toys made of cotton yarn, intended to be donated to children finishing their treatment at the Oncology Department of the Children’s Clinic in Skopje.

Crochet octopuses for premature babies: Skopje, Bitola, Prilep

The initiatives were carried out through several donations of knitted octopus packages to the PHI University Clinic for Gynecology and Obstetrics – Neonatology in Skopje, where some of the donations were made in cooperation with the NGO ‘Lulka’. In addition to Skopje, support and packages were also provided to the neonatology departments in Bitola and Prilep.
