SARASOTA, FL, March 14, 2010
/24-7PressRelease/ -- AuPairCare, http://www.aupaircare.com, a leading au pair placement agency, is teaming up with Build-A-Bear Workshop stores nationwide for their second annual Share-A-Bear campaign which invites au pairs to give back to their local communities by making a bear to be donated to a children's charity.
Sarasota area au pairs will build their bears on March 21 at Westfield Sarasota Square Mall's Build-A-Bear Workshop. Led by AuPairCare Area Director, Dolores Parker, 6 au pairs from 4 different countries will stuff and name teddy bears while also creating individual cards wishing the recipient of their bear good wishes in their own language. These special international bears will then be donated to the children of Foyer des Enfants de Jesus orphanage in Port Au Prince.
"We're trying to get the word out that everyone can attend our party and build a bear to give to a child in Haiti. We need to raise 60 bears so our friends in Haiti have something warm and cuddly to hold," said Dolores Parker of the effort.
"Beyond the everyday essentials, like food, shelter and water, our children have emotional needs too. This teddy bear drive will help provide comfort to them during these extremely challenging times," said Lesly Tilus, founder of Foyer des Enfants de Jesus.
Those interested in attending or making a donation on the orphanage's behalf may contact Dolores Parker at dparker.aupaircare@gmail.com or 941-924-0692.
