Duduza Dolls
Each year the North Jersey Fiber Arts Festival sponsors a project that weaves us into the interdependent web of the world’s community. In 2009 the world’s longest scarf benefited the good work of Heifer International. In 2010, we knitted and crocheted Duduza dolls on behalf of Our Chance International (OCI), a humanitarian organization which advocates and provides for the medical needs of disadvantaged children worldwide.
In keeping with its Zulu meaning, Duduza dolls provide children with the “comfort” required to recover from their life changing, and sometimes life saving, surgeries. In March 2011, the Duduza dolls we create as part of our Festival will be put into the hands of those Ghanaian children selected to benefit from OCI’s fourth medical mission to that country.
Just as each child is precious, each Duduza doll is unique ……..
