Mother Bear Project

Last Friday was a holiday here in Liberia, and some new friends of ours at the U.S. Embassy wanted to surprise 30 kids with handmade, one-of-a-kind teddy bears courtesy of Mother Bear Project.

Little did they know that they were in for a surprise themselves! The kids wouldn't let their new friends leave without giving them an amazing cultural presentation. The children sang, danced, drummed, and even showed off their spelling skills. (Special thanks to Martin for including my name as one of his words!)

We'd also like to thank Erne, Abby, and Karen from the Embassy for giving up their holiday to encourage the children, and to all the volunteer knitters from Mother Bear for sending these kids a little love.
