My Current Readings #14

An amazing article reported by James Schugel, titled "Sending Message of Love With Handmade Teddy Bears." This is actually a project called The Mother Bear Project, it started about five years ago when Amy Berman decided to start making bears for children in need. Her ideas flourished and she was making bears of all sorts of bright and different colors and was shipping them all to kids that were very poor, especially places in Africa. Berman herself took a trip to Zambia to deliver the bears she is so kindly making. She got to see the look on the children's faces when they received these bears, its something for them to call their own, and to have to hold. I think this is an outstanding idea and the twin cities and people and places all over are donating to this project and millions of billions of bears are being sent out to warm poor children's hearts. This entire article is completely about love, this woman had an idea to put a smile on a child's face with something hand made with love. There is no stronger way to show love than this, putting so much time into these bears, it is most definitely worth while. Actually my sister and I got the chance at my church to contribute to this heart warming project, we both bought a bear and wrote our names on it for the name-tag and had it ready to be sent to a child who really needed it. They have cards explaining this project and so we gave them to our aunts as a gift, showing that we made a child's day somewhere in the world. If interested-PLEASE follow up on this.
