Bernice Taylor has asked us to thank all those readers who responded so well to the Friend article (8 September 2005) about the 'Teddies on their travels'. She says: 'The response was, and is, wonderful! More than 1,000 have been sent on their way, this time to Chernobyl affected children in Belarus, who are still suffering so badly from the disaster which struck 10 years ago. Our house has become a "Teddy Port" prior to dispatch! Nearly every day there is a parcel at the door. I wish I could thank every knitter individually, but time has prevented this. Please Friends, know that your efforts are so worth while and I thank you all for your loving hard work.'
