Do you knit or crochet?

This is the logo for the Mother Bear Project. The Minnesota-based Mother Bear Project is a grass-roots, non-profit group 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.

Check out their Web site for more information and some very moving photographs of volunteer knitters, children who’ve received bears, and the children’s thank-yous to people who’ve reached out to them with kindness and compassion.

Even if you don’t knit or crochet, the organization has need of supplies and bear sponsors.
