Many years ago, our member Shirley Bond, along with other Soroptimists, knitted a lot of teddies which a fellow Soroptimist took with her to schools in Kabul, Afghanistan, to give them to the children who had nothing to hug. The pattern was called, ‘Teddies for Tragedies’.
It is sad that now there are a lot of children in the UK who also need love and care and often some therapy treatment; therefore, Shirley has kindly knitted another 30 teddies for them, as shown below:
They have gone to The Bungalow Partnership and its director, Marie Blythe, is delighted with them. She said, they would be perfect for the children they help.
A big thanks to Shirley for her thoughtfulness in these times of crises.
