Mother Bear Project

With the holidays coming up, Michelle wanted to do some projects to provide for others. She found the Mother Bear Project site several months ago & ordered the pattern, then put it some place safe and couldn't find it again, until recently. She made up the pattern and the bear pictured with me is the result. This bear will be sent to a child somewhere in Africa and will hopefully give that child comfort & the knowledge that people out in the world love that child and care about him/her.

Mother Bear Project sends thousands of bears a year to many parts of Africa. You can order a knit or crochet pattern to make one of these bears if you'd like to help too. The link to Mother Bear Project is www.motherbearproject.org

Even if you don't knit or crochet you can help by making a donation of money, supplies, or volunteer time to help with the sorting and packing for shipping. Please check out the website & help however you can.
