I too would like to find out where to send finished mats to Haiti. The contact I had quit sending them. I have a “ton” of cut strips available.

Hello Cynthia,

I would love to get ahold of some of those mats. I can send them to a hospital my church runs in Zimbabwe- The Salvation Army Howard Hospital. I actually am going there on march 30 but would like to make this an ongoing mission. I should get some ladies at my church here in Peterborough, Ontario to make some. My address is 839 Talwood Dr., Apt. 612, Peterborough, Ontario, Canada K9J 7M6 and my name is Jan Corley.

Thanks,

Jan

I am very very interested in started a community evening of making plastic Haitian mats. I am wondering if someone would come to Cornwall and show us how to start such”club”: I will take full responsibility of starting this club, just want someone to come show us how they do it….I am leaving for a holidays tomorrow till Dec. 13th and won’t be in the country. But like mentioned I am very very interested in starting this in Cornwall.

Hope to hear from you,

Lyne Atkinson

Plastic Milk Bag Sleeping Mats for Haiti

If you want the pattern for milk bag sleeping mats and the teddy bear you may e-mail me at rlsrachel@sympatico.ca.

I live in Barrie, Ontario, Canada

PS: Haiti is in dire need of our help and our groups have been sending mats there since 2001.
I must emphasize that ONLY milk bags are used for these mats … any other plastic bags will desintegrade after a few years from UV rays.

Milk bags are the bags that milk come in. Check out the link in the post to learn more about them. The pattern can be found in the older post that I talk about. Click on “Rita Kunc”

Where can I find these milk bags? The ones they crochet with on youtube do not look like the ones that MILK come in. They look like thick shopping bags. They do not look recycled at all. Please let me know about these.
