If you sew, knit, or crochet, you can supply useful items to this excellent Canadian group. Or you can donate finances, prayer, and certain items they're always in need of. For example, during garage sale season, you might keep your eyes open for needed items such as sports equipment, children's running shoes, and children's t-shirts and shorts.

TEDDIES FOR TRAGEDIES

     “When tragedy strikes somewhere in the world, the first members of society to suffer are the children,” says the TEDDIES FOR TRAGEDIES organization. “Doctors who treat children in the third world found that these teddies were sometimes as important to healing as the medicines, and of course each child gets to keep the teddy, so a continual supply is needed.”

     If you can sew and knit, YOU can make these super-cuddly teddy bears for children in tragic circumstances. This Canadian organization has volunteers from the U.S., Australia, and Europe. For a pattern to make the bears, come to this site:
