This is an organization that sells a teddy bear pattern you can either knit or crochet, and then when the bear is made you can send it back to the organization where they ship out the bears to children in Africa who are suffering from HIV and Aids. My friend
Melissa has crocheted many many bears and has sent them out to many children in Africa, and has actually seen pictures of the children hugging the bears she has made!
When i knit the bears i like to deviate from the pattern a bit and add a shaped muzzle and sometimes buttons and beads, and sell them in my daughter's shop,
The Paper Sparrow. When i do sell a bear, i donate $10.00 to
The Mother Bear Project so they can put that money where they most need it...
It really is a wonderful
organization. I hope you take some time to check it out.
And if you'd like to help, these three little bears will be for sale in my
Etsy shop just waiting for someone to love them. They have plastic safety eyes, so i would not recommend them for babies, but they are super soft and squishy and would make an older child a really nice friend....
