Mamá Osa Proyecto

Thursday, a group of ladies congregated at Distribuidora Barrera to initiate the Mama Osa Project. Mama Osa, Mother Bear, will provided knitted and crocheted bears for the less fortunate children of Cuenca. More than 20 ladies met to knit the bears.

Here are Patricia, shop owner, and Bella, who has been involved in the project in the US and provided the pattern for the bears. Gertie knits on.

I you're interested in becoming involved, visit Patricia's yarn shop, located on Luis Morena Mora y Cornelio Merchan to obtain the pattern. The shop will also serve as a drop off for the bears. Patricia can be contacted at distribuidorabarrera@hotmail.com . All the bears made in Cuenca will be distributed in Cuenca.

Until next time,
Mick and Kathy
