Peace by Melvin >>>

  

In the southern part of my tiny country lives the cutest boy: his name is Melvin, he's 8 years old. Melvin loves stuffed animals like any other child. And like any other child he understands that the loss of a beloved stuffed animal is a tragedy. But not like any other child Melvin was devastated about the news of the earthquakes in Nepal and the very slow rebuilding process. A lot of children must have lost their stuffed animals and other toys, so Melvin came up with a plan of action. When at the breakfast table Melvin told his parents he wanted to make stuffed animals for children in disaster areas like Nepal, they - perhaps also not like any other parent - said: 'Good idea: get to work!'

In no time Melvin and his parents and a lot of volunteers got very busy for Melvin aimed high. No less than 300 stuffed animals must be ready by october this year. Melvin made his own design: a fox with a tiny birdie in his belly pouch. A lot of kind people are willing to help with sewing, cutting, donating materials. A website was made - www.peacebymelvin.com -, people in Nepal were contacted and the news spread by facebook, whocares.me , etc. When I heard about it I immediately decided to help, for the children in Nepal, but also for Melvin. A child with such a golden heart should be treasured! I bought some cute pieces of cloth, buttons, felt, ribbons, and started sewing. The first three foxes are ready, seven more to go - and ten tiny chickens....
