We have some friends in the UK who had a great idea of how to bless our orphans. One day while cleaning out her toys Laura Cowen saw that she just had too many teddy bears and didnt know what to do with them. So after talkng with her dad they came up with the idea of sending them to our orphans here at Project O. When we recieved the box stuffed with bears and other soft toys we were so excited. The orphans that we work with do not have any toys and for them to be given a cuddly toy from a little girl in the UK was such a treat.
I shared with Laura and her Dad (Mike) what a blessing the bears were and how the children loved them so much, Mike came up with another idea. He is one of the leaders at the Kids club run by their church. He spoke with the children at Mighty Kids and they started to bring their soft toys in so that Mike and Laura could send them to the orphans of Project O.
We now recieve boxes of soft toys every couple of months and we love getting them.......more importantly our children here love to get them.
Such a simple idea from a little girl in England has made such a difference to these children here.
Thank you Laura for seeing a need and sharing it with others, now we have many happy little boys and girls who have a teddy to snuggle!
Thank you Mike for caring enough to get behind Laura and Project O.
And Thank you for all the children at Mighty Kids who gave your bears for an orphan. We belive every child should have a teddy bear!!!!!
