IZZY Doll Program<br />
<strong>The</strong> Mount Albert United Church and the Keswick Knitter Circle have<br />
under taken the IZZY Doll program which involves knitting comfort dolls<br />
that our Canadian Troops hand out to children in East Africa, Sudan, Haiti,<br />
and Kandahar. <strong>The</strong> IZZY Dolls are named after Mark Isfeld who was killed<br />
in Croatia by a land mine. Mark and his mother Carol made these dolls and<br />
distributed them everywhere to children in Croatia. Since then his fellow<br />
soldiers have carried on this tradition distributing dolls and boomer hats<br />
wherever Canadian soldiers are performing duties.<br />
In the past few years it has grown<br />
across the country with church<br />
groups and seniors groups<br />
knitting away. <strong>The</strong> dolls are<br />
collected by ICROSS Canada<br />
and then packed in boxes with<br />
medical supplies, etc., then sent<br />
to CFB Trenton and flown over<br />
on the new C-17's.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Mount Albert United<br />
Church undertook this project<br />
and the first dolls were handed<br />
over to ICROSS Canada during a<br />
service at the church on Sunday,<br />
September 26.<br />
