Step 1 for A Foundation for Change

Goal: Donate hats I (and other volunteers) crochet to organizations that treat patients with Hydrocephalus in developing countries.

Looking for:

Contact information for organizations that send neurosurgeons to developing countries to perform shunt surgery (the treatment for Hydrocephalus) pro bono.

Links to crochet patterns for baby hats.

Links to inexpensive online yarn stores.

I would like to have a page/blog entry with links to other blogs dealing with abuse and/or disability. I've done a search through blogspot and wordpress. What other ones are there? I can use Copernic (search engine program) to search for related blogs on a given blog site pretty easily; I just need a list of blogging sites. Please comment with blog URLs! Thanks!

Need to find

I need to find websites that sell yarn inexpensively. Aside from ebay.com, can you think of any?

A Foundation for Change logo

This is the image I'd like to use for the Foundation logo. In American Indian beliefs, the butterfly represents transition and change. People with disabilities need to be willing and able to constantly adapt to changes. Sexual assault and abuse survivors will often tell you that the person they were before the assault or abuse no longer exists; it changes people. For those reasons, I chose the butterfly to represent the Foundation.

Colors: Purple represents Domestic Violence Awareness, Teal represents Sexual Assault/Abuse Awareness, Silver (NOT grey) represents Disability Awareness.
