Sharing teddy bears to Venezuelan children affected by the humanitarian crisis

Comedor Papa Francisco, Cúcuta - Bear Hugs for Venezuela teddy bear distribution

One of the highlights of the visit to Comedor Papa Francisco in Cúcuta was meeting with a group of Venezuelan children and seeing the sparkles in their eyes when presented with a teddy bear. The value of giving teddy bears to traumatized children stretches beyond merely providing them with something to hold. These furry ambassadors brought hope, joy and a smile to the face of these children contributing to help lessen the psychological trauma caused by this current Venezuelan humanitarian crisis.
