Project Description:

The “Tangle of Kindness” project was created to support and socialize children battling serious illnesses in medical institutions.

The project has been in existence since 2017. As part of the project, volunteers visit children with serious illnesses in medical facilities, where they conduct workshops teaching children to create knitted items.
