We are a REGISTERED NON PROFIT ORGANIZATION showing Aids Impacted Victims we care. We live in a Society alive with discrimination against AIDS sufferers. Once a person is diagnosed as an AIDS sufferer they are rejected by family, friends and society. They are total outcasts unable to support themselves. Their children are removed from them and placed in orphanages. It is no wonder they become dejected, depressed and believe they have no rights. We believe that all humans deserve respect, dignity and caring no matter what the circumstances.

We offer Teddy Bears as a comfort to traumatized children We further offer these children the opportunity of experiencing some of the joys of normal children such as a birthday gift, Christmas gift and the opportunity of experiencing the fun of an outdoor camp.

Knowing that very few of these children will enjoy a full life reaching adult hood we need to ensure that however short their traumatized life may be they will know there are caring people around them For families we are striving to have a home where parent and child can live to together as a normal family despite the illness as long as possible. The terminal ill adult should be allowed the privilege of leaving this life with dignity.

We cannot do this alone! We need support from caring persons around the globe.

Operation Teddy Bear Care was born from a single blog post from Maureen on the 29Gifts Community site. Maureen wrote that she wanted to make 100 hand-sewn teddy bears and deliver them to South African children living in poverty due to the AIDS epidemic in their country. But Maureen only had enough materials to make 20 teddy bears.BJ, on reading this, immediately set up a challenge to collect a 1000 Teddy bears.
Sharon and many other 29Gifters jumped into action and Maureen quickly increased the scope of her project. Maureen is still delivering teddy bears. Maureen also trains local men and women to sew and cook to give them marketable job skills.

SHORT TERM GOAL:
Make Christmas 2009 a special time time for AIDS babies and children by giving them a gift that they really want remembering that these little ones do not have a lifetime of Christmases to look forward to. A Teddy Bear will be included in the gift if child has not already received a Teddy Bear.

MEDIUM TERM GOAL:
Launch a Sponsorship Program for Aids Impacted Children. This will ensure that they receive a birthday gift, Christmas gift and other personal items such as clothing as the need arises over and above the Teddy Bear each child receives.. Where possible we could sponsor these children to experience a once in a life time fun camp.

LONG TERM GOALS:
Continue giving out Teddy Bears to traumatized children. Have homes where AIDS IMPACTED Families are able to live a family life as normal as possible. Where Parent and child can be together no matter what the circumstances.Where ailing adults can be helped to keep their self esteem and dignity by being kept occupied with normal household duties within their capabilities and be encouraged to take up various hobbies. In Normal families parent and child share the ups and downs of life. These AIDS IMPACTED Families should be allowed the same privilege.
