Quilts at work in Sylhet, Bangladesh

Lots of quilty love is being spread in Bangladesh as the Rotary Club of Portsmouth, NH, works with Rotaplast International, creating new smiles and changing lives.  Team member Michael Labrie has shared these photos which have not appeared in the Rotaplast blog.

These photos were all taken early in the mission when parents are full of hope but understandably apprehensive.  Seeing their child wrapped in a colorful quilt goes a long way towards easing that apprehension.  Bridging the language gap, the gift of the quilt is a comforting touch.

Wrapped with love
A mother's touch
Returned from surgery, a brighter future ahead

Many caring hands are involved in treatment
An older girl chooses her own quilt
Wrap-A-Smile quilts are made by quilters from all over the United States.  I hope the quilters who made these beautiful quilts will recognize their creations.  Thank you to all who continue to make Wrap-A-Smile a mission of joy.
