I had planned to make just one bear for the Mother Bear Project, an organization that distributes hand-knit bears to children affected by HIV/AIDS in emerging nations. All bears must be made using the same World War II era pattern, which is available in knit or crochet. Once I finished my boy bear, I just had to make a girl to accompany him on his long journey to his new home. The pattern costs $5.00, which helps the organization pay for expenses such as the storage space needed to hold the hundreds of bears they receive each month. An additional $3.00 must be included with each bear to help pay for shipping the bears to Africa. SO ... for eight dollars, and a few evenings of your time, you too can provide comfort for one of these kids in need. Details can be found at www.motherbearproject.org.

Bet you can't make just one!
