His “Project Campbell-365” is worthy not only of admiration, but also of imitation.
Twelve-year-old Australian boy Campbell Remes has made over 800 soft toys for children.
His “Project Campbell-365” is worthy not only of admiration, but also of imitation.
When Campbell was nine years old, he showed empathy for children at a local hospital.
The boy turned to his parents with a request to buy gifts for the unfortunate children for Christmas.
But mom and dad explained to the child that it was very expensive and impossible.
Campbell did not become capricious and set himself the task of making a soft toy for children with his own hands every day. At this pace, the student planned to sew 365 toys in a year.
The first was a teddy bear, on which the boy spent about five hours. The result did not quite live up to expectations. But the boy did not give up and continued to study.
Each new bear got better and better. As part of the Campbell 365 project, a kind-hearted kid sewed fluffy bears and then presented them to children undergoing treatment in the children’s department of the hospital.
Each toy was targeted – Campbell embroidered the name of the new owner on the leg. On the second leg is the logo of the project.
The children were delighted with the new shaggy friend from the hands of the young master!
After sewing 365 toys, the boy did not stop, but continued his charitable work.
In three years, he was able to make more than 800 little animals!
Moreover, all products are very beautiful and high quality. The young tailor is good with the sewing machine and even comes up with the design.
When all the kids received gifts, the teenager began to sell them at an international auction.
But do not rush to draw conclusions.
The philanthropist transferred all the money earned to the accounts of children in need of treatment and provided assistance to the local medical institution.
Neighborhood boys and classmates don’t think Campbell is a “nerd” or make fun of him for rushing to the sewing machine instead of playing football with them.
For three years, the guy won the respect of the townspeople and became famous far beyond the borders of his city.
Materials for sewing toys are brought to Remes’ house by everyone who wants to help the project. Some people order crafts, and the proceeds go to help those in need.
