Mother Bear Project
About The Mother Bear Project:
The Mother Bear Project is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to providing comfort and hope to children, primarily those affected by HIV/AIDS in emerging nations, by giving them a gift of love in the form of hand-knit and crocheted bears.
The simple gift of a hand-knit bear with a tag signed by the knitter has touched children who have nearly nothing in the world with the message that they are loved by someone halfway around the world.
The response has been overwhelming, with people wanting to help from all over the world. Thousands of patterns have been distributed, and wonderful bears have been received from people of all ages, backgrounds and knitting abilities. It has brought people together to do something kind in the face of a horrible problem.

This is a wonderful way to hone your knitting skills and to bust up that stash accumulating in your craft storage. What could be better than giving a child a little something to love. You can order the pattern from the Mother Bear website linked above and also find other ways you can help bring a smile to a child.

Love this organization the bears are very addicting to make. Once one is complete the next one is quickly on the needles.
