The ten teddy bears are students who have just finished studying and are going on a gap year of travel around the world. They will document their travels on social media and a blog to track where they go. The teddies need sponsors to fund their flights, accommodations, meals and visas. Donations will also help set up digital kiosks in South African schools.
