Benjamin T — Sat, 04 Apr 2009 23:03:10 GMT

I am the member of a school run global outreach club from Southern Florida, and we are looking for classrooms to host our bear in its journey around the world. We are made of children ages 14-15 but we would be more than willing to consider classrooms of younger children, as we may be extending this project to include children from our lower school. This project may entail a small investment to send the bear its next stop, but we will try our best to keep the shipping expenses low. Please repond if you are interested.
