Teddy Bear's Picnic

I took my sketchbook to my nephew's baby's first birthday party on Saturday. An impossible task to catch all the very active little people that were toddling, crawling and dashing around, while dodging some sticky hands grasping at my pen -  but I got a few, and a couple twice.
We were asked to bring teddies for the Nkanyesi Day Care Centre for children with cerebral palsy in Soweto, a little way to share the happiness of this occasion with babies who aren't so lucky.
