So many of the students from my school have experienced significant stress and trauma. Crocheting provides an opportunity for stress relief and increases self esteem. Because many of our students live below the poverty level, they are not able to purchase their own supplies so I am asking DonorsChoose.org to help me purchase hooks, needles and yarn. Last year I started a Crochet Club (which I funded), which was a very popular activity with over 30 students participating. This year I am turning the Club into a community service project in which we will make hats and scarves for a local homeless shelter or blankets for the Linus Project, which provides blankets for sick or traumatized children. Students will be motivated to participate because they are required to do community service hours. They will benefit from the good feelings that come from helping others and at the same time they will learn a skill that will help them to relax and to cope with the stress in their own lives.
