Smiles From 2 Little Refugee Children from Afghanistan Say It All
A SPECIAL TREAT FOR YOU:
We received this photo from our most recent delivery to Lutheran Social Service-Refugee Services in Minneapolis of this sweet Afghani family’s 2 children when they received our Doll and Boy Buddy Bear Tote Bags. They are just adorable little kids. Buddy Bear is just about as big as the little boy! Their smiles say it all. Now let doll and teddy bear do their work. Aren’t they just precious?
Photo taken by Lutheran Social Service–Refugee Services and permission was given by LSS to share these photo in Don’t Cry…I’m Here’s group.
