Beartime Stories
Bedtime stories were a highlight of my childhood. Proven to spark language skills and creativity, it is heartbreaking to think that some children don't have anyone to read to them at bedtime.
In 2014, my friends and I founded our own charity project, allowing everyone to donate a bedtime story to a parentless child. Through a self-built online platform, people were able to record themselves reading out their favourite stories. The stories were collected and transferred onto special teddy bears equipped with integrated music players.
We then gave the bears away to children homes around the world. Throughout this project, we were able to work with several partners such as the New York Foundling, St. Christophers London, and Cuddle Tunes, to make all this actually happen.
