Indian Institute of Cerebral Palsy and Stuffed Animals

Every year many adults and children from all over the USA send me Beanie Babies and stuffed animals to bring or ship to India. These toys are very special to many children especially at one place The Institute of Cerebral Palsy in Kolkata. This is a very big school for handicapped children. At this school my friend and Director of Rehabilitation Tessa Hemblin makes a zoo out of all the animals for all the children to play with.

On many of my visits I keep a few Animals in my backpack to give to other children I see that may need a toy to make them smile. I am very grateful to all of you for your help. Because of your efforts you have made many children happy. The photos tell the story!
