Press Release: Governor General
Quilts for Te Kainga Whaiora Children's Health Camp
A
visit to the Te Kainga Whaiora Children's Health Camp for
vulnerable children in Gisborne last year made such an
impression on the Governor-General Dame Silvia Cartwright
that she felt compelled to help. So she invited a group of
Wellington quiltmakers to become involved in a project to
supply the camp with warm quilts.
Now, after months of
work, 26 beautiful handmade quilts are ready to be sent to
the camp. The colourful quilts will be handed over to Dr
Fiona Inkpen, Chief Executive of the NZ Foundation for Child
and Family Health Development, at Government House in
Wellington tomorrow morning.
The quilts will be handed
over during a morning tea at Government House at 10.30am on
Tuesday, 22 November 2005. Media wishing to cover the event
should contact the Public Affairs Officer to confirm
attendance no later than 9.30am on the morning of the
event.
