Response from Namibia

E-mail 1/8/07 from Erne Guzman, Windhoek:    

"I was so happy when I first received my shipment of bears, now every time that I get a batch it is great to see how creative everyone is getting and how amazing the bears look!  Thanks to all the wonderful knitters doing such a great thing for the kids in Namibia. When the bears gets handed out to the kids, it lights up their faces, they smile, hug and kiss the bears!  And they know it is theirs!!"

E-mail 11/21/07 from Caroline !Gaoses, Youth Program Officer, Evangelical Lutheran Church AIDS Programme (ELCAP):  

"Life is hard for many children in Namibia.  HIV/AIDS takes their youth when it takes their parents.  Prostitution, stigma, and labor replace the safe learning and play that childhood should bring.  Your gift restores balance to damaged lives.  It shows that people can be kind rather than selfish and abusive.  In so doing, it gives hope and joy by pointing away from what life has become to what it can be.  Please thank all of the knitters.  The teddy bears make a huge difference!"
