I listen to a lot of knitting podcasts. One of my favorite podcasts is CogKNITive. The host, Dr. Gemma, is fond of a charity called the Mother Bear Project, so I decided to look into it further.
This wonder project gives handmade crocheted or knitted teddy bears to orphaned children in Africa who have little to nothing of their own. The bears bring comfort and friendship to these children. The pictures of the children holding their bears is so moving.
Check out the Mother Bear Project Website. They ask for a small monetary donation to get the knit or crochet pattern, it's so worth it. The actual project took less than a day. I encourage you to support this charity.
