Joyce Ferguson, June Milson and Isabel Archer are amongst the ladies at Ratho who weave empty milk bags into sleeping mats. These help keep waste out of the local landfill, and parasites away from children in the developing world who would otherwise sleep on the ground. It takes about 300 milk bags to create one child’s mat, and 400 for an adult’s. Each mat is wrapped around a sheet and wool blanket, making it a complete bed. That’s some mission.
