"To all those who have touched CITW and keep it going, keep up the fabulous work. You are truly making a difference”.
Gratitude from a recipient of Mother Bears: "Life is hard for many children in Namibia.
”HIV/AIDS takes their youth when it takes their parents. Prostitution, stigma, and labour 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!"
Caroline !Gaoses, Youth Programme Officer, Evangelical Lutheran Church AIDS Programme, Namibia
