A friend recently sent me this link of what seems to be a charity organisation/project in the works. The text from the website goes as such:
The World Bear Project is still in its development stage, but we plan to have a full website up in a month or two. At that time we will also begin our mission to unite children all over the world!
About the Project
Founded in 2008, the World Bear program began with a mother's love and ends with you today. It began with a young boy in a poverty-stricken section of South Africa, loved nothing more than his stuffed toy, a simple teddy bear. He also had a passion for learning about new places and would stare at pictures of different lands for hours.
Unfortunately, the boy was stricken with ALS at a young age and is already bedridden. His mother sent his stuffed bear to relatives in the Netherlands so he could see his bear in pictures in new and wonderful places. Unfortunately and accidentally, the bear was lost in the mail and never reached its destination.
After hearing the story from his mother, we became passionate about spreading our new found friend's story to everyone, and using his mother's idea to let her child see the world outside his room, and make many new friends.
So we ask you, please accept this large cutout of the boy's bear and let your children take a picture with the bear. Anyone and anywhere is great, we just want more pictures of more friends for our friend.
Please aid our cause in brightening the future of this little boy, and bringing the world closer to him, and closer together! There is nothing World Bear can't accomplish!
Seems like an innocent cause, right? Until you see the banner, which features...
