ArteEmCasa--Yes it sounds like we have similar values doesn't it? People are the same the world over! We have Binky Patrol and Project Linus here in the States for children in need. One of our quilt guild members is coordinator for Binky Patrol in our area and I know how much work she does for it and sewing is just a small part of the work.
QE is on a FWS high right now. You'll get that beauty done in no time!!
