PHOTOGRAPHS FROM KAS DISTRIBUTIONS 2013
Ronda and Wendy have been producing quite a catalogue of photographs from the recent distributions, rather than post them a few at a time, it was decided to create a discussion page where they could be displayed more speedily so that members might be able to spot their squares, garments or hats earlier! Spotting one of our own creations in Africa really does spur as on to even greater creativity!

Bless their sweet little hearts! They so love a simple toy and treat it as though it is a piece of gold!

I sent along the brown teddies with the brown spots on the lower paws a few weeks ago. I think I sent five this time. I buy them wholesale from a U.S. company and I love that they are so chubby and lovable. I have sent more like this in the past but this is the very first time I have ever seen the children with them and I am over the moon. I think Ronda must have distributed all five of them at Evaton. It is such a thrill to see the children hugging them, playing together with them, and then binding them on their backs! Thank you to everybody who participated in the distribution, took the photos, and to you, Pam, for posting them. These children are just the cutest darlings. There are so many photos of the children with their cuddlies. It is plain to see that KAS has made them very happy!

Oh, and they are such cute bears! A sweet smile on the face, and (like you said) chubby and lovable.

That is so great Helen! I saw one that I sent as well, the cuddle being held up in front of the children....I recognize it because of the bow around it's neck lol! I kept thinking I would replace it with something brighter, but never got around to it! I think somewhere I spotted the child that received it as well.....such a great feeling.
Would you be willing to share the link for the company you get your bears from? I would be very interested in ordering from them, if you wouldn't mind :)
