Elderly women in an assisted living center are recapturing life by making dolls for children in Darfur. Two thousand dolls have been made, each one soft and cuddly to serve the smallest child, and the project has grown. Dolls for World Peace has become “an intergenerational effort as disabled adults, girl scouts and people from the homeless shelter have joined them in making dolls.”
Dolls for World Peace is in need of funds to help ship the dolls to refugee camps and to pay for the materials. If you’d like to make a tax-free donation or learn how your organization can become involved, please contact Linda Forrest in Florida (954) 572-4261. Checks can be mailed to Dolls For World Peace, 4201 Springtree Drive, Sunrise, Fl. 33351.
