Helping Hands Craft Club is a community-driven non-profit organization dedicated to supporting local community groups and charities and individuals within Grey County through the sale of handmade crafts, and loving crafters. Part of the club is a group called The Bag Ladies. The Ladies collect milk bags ( the big outside ones) and turn them into sleeping mats to hand out to the needy world wide. The milk bag mats offer to people without bed, an invaluable, durable and washable alternative to sleeping on the often cold and damp ground. Not only can these milk-bag mats provide comfort as a bedding alternative, but have been used by health-care professionals as a make-ready substitute for an operation bed/table where resources are scarce. it takes approximately 400 milk bags to make one adult size mat. We collect the bags, but into strips, tie together the weave or crochet into mats. We donate our mats to Milk Bag Unlimited (https://milkbagsunlimited.ca/). They send them to the homeless in Canada, Syrian refugees in Greece and other countries when natural disasters strikes. The mats are also regularly sent to Burkina Faso, Brazil, Doninica, El Salvador and many other counties. Milk Bags Unlimited also empower the women in the Third World Countries to create many products from floor mats to hand bags with milk bags shipped to them along with tools. The women work, sell and make money to support their families.

Traditionally Indians especially in family farms/rural areas used to boil milk in big pans and consume milk and milk products in various forms- fresh milk, ghee, buttermilk, curd and a variety of sweets. Over the years, drinking milk has declined particularly among children. We wish to revive healthy milk drinking among children. So we will be organizing several activities during May till June 1 to promote milk drinking especially among children and women. We will be organizing visits of students to dairy farms of progressive dairy farmers and organize rallies in villages to raise awareness about drinking milk for good health, while distributing leaflets on safe and hygienic milk consumption. The mega event with a theme DRINK MILK TODAY & EVERYDAY will take place on 1st June at our campus-ICAR- Indian Veterinary Research Institute, Izatnagar (Uttar Pradesh), India. We will be boiling milk in huge milk pans and hot milk will be served in earthen pots to children, women and other participating men & women. It will be followed by a poster making competition for children on importance of milk in human life culminating in a motivational lecture on importance of milk consumption.
