One of our friends, a young minister here in Maun, has a storage container where donations (hand me down clothes, food rations, kids toys etc.) that come from her South African connections were kept. She invited us to come and distribute anything we felt would bless our neighbors and those we minister to in the Hospital. You can imagine Cheryl's sqeal of delight at the sight of these knitted teddies! We immediately took a closer look to see if they were the ones Mom Hauser had knit and sent to Africa through a ministry called ICROSS. Alas they were not her handiwork but I have a feeling that when we give all of these away, Mom's busy knitting fingers will have more to send. The neat thing about giving them away is the way young and old smile with delight when I pull one out of my bag.
Hanging out to dry. These guys smelled a little musty but after some bleach and soap, they are ready to be given away.
