In early 2018, a group of ladies came together to channel their knitting hobby into something more focused and useful. They started a knit-a-thon exercise, aim of which is to knit a specific number of blankets and distribute them to charities worldwide that look after young children. In parallel, the group has decided to compete for the Guin- ness World Record for the World's largest hand-knitted blanket.

The students, parents and teachers of Dunes International School also took initiative and became a part of this great world record event.
