BRAVERY BEAD BOXES, AN NWG CHALLENGE

Our Challenge is to make "Bravery Bead" boxes for the very sick children in the IWK.

These children are given unique beads for each procedure they undergo; these beads are threaded onto a length of string.  This is a way for them to record their journey through a serious illness which can go on for a number of years.  The strung beads can reach lengths of 15 feet or more.  Your box will give them a special place to keep that journey.
