As a result, the volunteers were able to disperse the teddy bears to children and seniors living in orphanages and shelters in Uganda.
The "Knit Wits" have been busy knitting throughout the summer working on many projects. Upon hearing about the opportunity to have teddy bears sent overseas to children and seniors in Africa, each member of the club took time away from personal projects to focus on knitting teddy bears.

Limited by space in the volunteer suitcases, the "Knit Wits" were able to donate 15 cute and cuddly teddy bears.
The children and seniors in Uganda were overjoyed by the kind donation. The children spent the afternoon playing with their new teddy bears while the seniors enjoyed watching the children so happy and having a cuddly companion.

After viewing the photos of the seniors and children in Uganda, the "Knit Wits" were overcome with emotion. They realized how something so small can have such a huge impact on someone else's life.
