the Thomas
the JulietteAdong Jackline
Adong Jackline lost her father as a child and mother struggled to provide for Jackline and her eight siblings. She lost many members of her family during the war and was held captive for a short time by the rebel army. Working for KKU has allowed her to send her children to school and to meet her family’s basic needs. Above all, Jackline is grateful for the opportunities that this program allows as she had tried working for little pay at other jobs and is now doing work she enjoys and making a fair salary for it.
DREAM FOR THE FUTURE
“My future dream is to save money so that I can do another business which will enable me to earn more money so that I can buy a plot of land for my family to build on.”
HOBBIES
“I enjoy working in the garden and love that Northern Uganda has such fertile soils that make crop production easy. During my childhood I would work with the other children in the gardens.
MESSAGE TO KKi
“My message to KKU is that they should continue to assist the women of Uganda. We greatly appreciate all the founders and initiators of the KKU programme.”
Thank you, Adong Jackline

Dear Jackline, I would like to thank you for my hat. It is very warm and cozy. I have a salmon one. I am so happy you made my hat, Jackline. I hope life is well for you. I can tell you are a hard worker and will do anything for your family. You are a great person, Jackline. Thank you again and best wishes for you and your beloved family in Northern Uganda! Keep up the knitting and don’t stop gardening with your fertile soils! It was a pleasure to receive a hat made with such genuine care by you, Jackline. Thank you, Jackline.
Jackline-
Thank you for the great hat you knit for me. I’ve been trying to find a nice crochet one to wear around and snowboard in and when i heard about KKU i couldn’t think of a better place to get one from. I work at a mountain in Connecticut and i will be sure to pass on this company to all my coworkers who i’m sure will buy these hats up! The beanie came out great, best wishes pursuing your goals!
Thanks again,

Jackline, I just got your gorgeous hat in the mail. I could not wait to find out the woman that made my hat and I was happy to find out that such a beautiful woman took her time to make it for me. It will be a great hat to wear in the cold Connecticut winters, even though I am wearing it right now in the middle of the summer. I hope life for you is getting better, and I wish you luck on buying that plot of land. All my wishes to you and your family -Jaclyn

Jackline, I just received my hat today,and must say I really love it and hope to get much use of it this winter. The delivery could not have been more perfectly time, today in America is our first day of Fall which will bring the cooler weather to Texas soon. I have posted on Facebook the project in Uganda and hope to get many of my friends to support with this venture.
I wish you and your family good health and prosperity.
My prayers are with you.

Thank you so much for using your skills to make my day. This hat was given to me as a birthday gift and is certainly the best one. I hope everything is going well for you and your family. Thank you again and take care.
Jackline- thank you so much for my awesome sage green Lucille hat. I love it. I have a heart for Uganda. last year when I went on a mission trip, I found the Ugandan women to be so strong. My prayer for you is that you find success as you are taking the women of Uganda into a new mindset of leadership and empowerment to be strong and successful. May God bless you along the way and in every new endeavor. “in due time you will reap a harvest, if you do not give up!” Galatians 6:8 love: Jessica miller
Thank you so very much Adong Jackline! Your story is most courageous, truly inspiring, and ultimately heartwarming. I received my beautifully made hat in the mail today. I instantly fell in love with it! I will wear it proud from this day forward. Keep your head held high and continue to be a phenomenal example! We have such a loving creator, our great God above. And it’s so nice to see that love reflected in his creations.
With love and thanks,

Adong Jackline,
Thank you SO MUCH for my hat. My friend taught me to knit years ago, but I could never make something so beautiful. I hope you will continue to follow your dreams and I will continue to support Krochet Kids Intl for their wonderful efforts. Each time I wear my Waldo hat, I will think of you and what an inspiration you are.
Peace,

You are a most courageous woman and I wish you and your family well. Gulu, Uganda will always hold a special place in my heart as I traveled there last year with my graduate program to help teach counseling skills. The people there touched my heart and truly inspired me!!! Now I have another reminder of that inspiration. Thank you and stay strong!

Dear Adong Jackline, my daughter, Alex, really wanted a hat made by you so we ordered it for a Christmas present. Thank you so much for providing a way for us to spread the message of Christmas beyond the idea that it is better to give than receive. You are truly providing a piece of God’s love in every hat you make.
Peace and God Bless.

Thank you so much Jackline!! I absolutely love my hat!! You are a very strong and amazing woman! I bought my hat at a christian concert called rock the desert. At first i just wanted to buy it because i love these hats, but then the worker started telling me about how women in Uganda hand made them. It is amazing what this program does and i pray they continue to do this!
Thanks again! Jesus loves you!!!!,

I made my first KK purchase today at an event my Board hosted at The University of Kentucky. Thank you so very much for the beautiful work you’ve created! I was so touched by the drive you women possess that I am hoping to be chosen to intern for KK in Uganda. I know how difficult it may seem while pursuing a dream but I hope you see it through and accomplish everything you set out to do!
I want to thank you so much for my wonderful Toob. My son who is in the Air Force brought it home as a holiday gift for me and I love it. I live in a very cold climate in Connecticut and I’m always cold so I wear it inside and outside.. Please keep up the wonderful work. I’m so happy and proud to wear it and I will tell everyone about it and who made it. Thank you again and good luck to you and your family.
I can’t thank you enough Adong Jackline the hat you made me is amazing. It means so much to me. My girlfriend got it for me as a Christmas gift and at first told me she didn’t she get it and I was so upset but when I unwrapped it, it made my Christmas i couldnt have been happier. Again thank you so much for this wonderful hat. I hope you get that plot of land and my prayers/thoughts go out to you and your family.
Adong Jackline-
You are the true meaning of beauty inside and out. I love the hat that you knitted for me, and I truly feel like you made it just for me. I cant thank you enough for making me feel so special. Keep dreaming and one day your dreams will come true.
