Project Ghana

Good morning, friends! We are happy to announce that we have a new idea launched for our children across the world- Project Ghana! Send in your stuffed animals and help make a difference in the lives of children in Ghana, West Africa! What a blessing it is to be able to change a child's life one country at a time. Stephanie's father will be moving to Ghana in a month and will hand out the stuffed animals to the children. If you would like for your stuffed animals to be donated to Ghana, here, or both  please specify when you email us.

The Power of a Child's Dream

Every child deserves to be granted the opportunity to dream big. Children are very special and they have big dream. Operation Teddy Bear wants to help mentor children on how dreaming big and changing the world is extremely possible. Each child has a very unique and special gift that is meant to be shared, and we want to help them embrace their gifts.

Why every child deserves a teddy bear

The first teddy bear was created in 1902.
At first, they were not as cuddly and soft, but as the years progressed, teddy bears became more friendly looking and sweet. For years and years, teddy bears have been a source of comfort. Children love teddy bears because there is a sense of protection that they feel when they hold one in their arms .They help children  fall asleep at night whenever they have bad dreams or make them smile when they are feeling sad. A teddy bear is a stuffed animal that comforts a child's heart. Although teddy bears  cannot walk, talk, or eat, in a child's eyes teddy bears are like people. They are a child's guardian angel. As Operation Teddy Bear Service, it is our mission-our duty to make every child in every hospital feel comfort through the arms of a loving teddy bear. To make a  teddy bear and / or  book donation please contact Stephanie and Marissa at operationteddybearservice@gmail.com. We are not asking for money, we are asking for just teddy bears and children's books as donations.

Building Our Team

Operation Teddy Bear is currently building a team. Our mission is to make every child feel special and loved one teddy bear at a time. We will be making phone calls and writing letters to different universities, organizations, and churches all over Georgia. We hope to gain as much support and representatives as possible. Our first delivery stop will be the Children's Healthcare of Atlanta.  Please stay tuned to weekly updates. If you would like to make a teddy bear and/or children's book donation please email Stephanie and Marissa at operationteddybearservice@gmail.com

Our goals

Hello! And welcome to The Operation Teddy Bear blog site! Our main goal for this service project is to bring smiles to the children of Atlanta in hospitals. In doing so we are collecting teddy bears and children's books.  Each month, we will  gather the bears and books and we will personally deliver them to a designated hospital. We believe that every child deserves a cuddly teddy bear and a great book to read. This is an ongoing service project and we hope to make a difference in a child's life. To make a teddy bear and/or children's book donation please contact Stephanie and Marissa at operationteddybearservice@gmail.com
