Teddies for Tragedies
Doctors in Third World countries have found that children who have their own teddies to cuddle get better more quickly than those who do not. Each child takes their teddy home, so there is a need for a continual supply.
lots of knitted teddies ready to go to new homes
Here is a link to Teddies for Tragedies website so you can read all about it-

Below you will find a link to full knitting instructions for making a “Teddies for Tragedies” teddy. It is important to follow these instructions as the organisers want all the teddies donated to have a similar appearance.
Please use bright colours, but NOT white, as white is a sign of mourning in many countries.
GOOD NEWS! We have a new address to which you may send your completed teddies!
