These are the results of our Enrichment Night which included making coffins for the Garden of Innocence. They are an organization that provides a dignified burial for abandoned babies. In addition the the caskets, complete with 2 homemake blankets, toy and poem, they give the baby a name and hold a memorial service. It was a wonderful feeling to know you were doing something that counts.
We made 8 in all. This is Elissa, the founder of the organization, Nick, it was his eagle scout project; he built the caskets and Katherine who organized the rest for her Laurel project
I thought mine turned out great.

That is a neat project but how sad! I just can't imagine someone abandoning their baby. Does it happen enough to need 8? I hope not. I hope those are just extras!
They need many, many more. Interesting world we live in.
It is heart breaking to think of all the babies that no one wants. I can't imagine not wanting a baby that has grown in my belly. I feel so much love for them long before I ever see them.
Do you still need poems? I thought about announcing it in Relief Society. Let me know and I will. We have some creative women in our ward.
