Help ELRU (Early Learning Resource Unit) by donating dolls for children ages 2 to 5
Here's a little more info about this opportunity...
We need dolls for young children ages 1-6, preferably with dark skin tone. Big dolls, small dolls, plastic dolls, felt dolls or knitted dolls. Doll play activates brain regions that allow children to develop social processing skills like empathy. The brain activation that develops empathy is evidenced even when the child is playing with dolls by themselves.

Helpful tips
Stay safe
- 1. Don’t pass any personal information to people you haven’t met offline before.
- 2. When meeting one of your contacts offline for the first time, always be sure to arrange to meet in a public place.
- 3. Make sure that you are not left alone with someone that you have never met before.
- 4. Know where you’re going. If you’re headed off the beaten track or into an unfamiliar part of town, be sure you have directions and a GPS or map book.
- 5. If you feel unsafe, consult the person in charge and let him or her know.
- 6. Avoid wearing expensive jewellery: it could get damaged, lost or stolen.
- 7. Ask, ask, ask! If you’re worried about something or concerned about your safety in a certain situation, ask the person in charge.
