He snuggled up with that baby blanket covered in pictures of Pooh and friends for the first few years of his life. When he was a newborn, it was a soft warm blanket to wrap him up in for his first winter, and as he grew it became a source of comfort for him. He needed his blanket to take a nap or there was no sleep to be had!<\/p>\n<p>As he got older and became more independent, he started dragging his blanket around the house with him as he played. It&rsquo;s no wonder that the word <em>security<\/em> is often used to describe these kinds of blankets. As children grow older, they spend more time exploring their world as they seek independence,&nbsp;and having something that is constant &mdash; like a blanket &mdash; is comforting to them.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_20682\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-20682\" style=\"width: 622px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-20682 size-full lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/wvusstatic.com\/email\/met3\/spacer.gif\" alt=\"This Giving Tuesday, Thirty-One Gifts will match up to $2,000,000 with product!

Esther has been sick for two weeks, having spent one week in the hospital.<\/p>\n<p>Apart from the medication that Esther is receiving, something else unexpected is supporting her recovery. A baby blanket, or swaddling blanket, has become one of Margaret&rsquo;s treasured possessions.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Whenever it gets cold, I wrap her in it so that she feels warm. Even after bathing her I put it around her so that the cold does not get through to her,&rdquo; Margaret says.<\/p>\n<p>She explains that the nurse at the hospital told her that although pneumonia is caused by bacteria, it is exacerbated by exposure to the cold. She explains that it has been really cold lately because of the rainy season. Having this blanket gives Margaret the feeling that she is able to help her child in her recovery.<\/p>\n<p>In a district where most of the people are low income earners and can only afford the basics of life, it goes without saying that clothing, particularly warm clothes, are a luxury.<\/p>\n<p>Recognizing this need, World Vision distributed 138 baby blankets that were received as a gifts-in-kind (product) donation, many of them to mothers like Margaret.<\/p>\n<h3>Zambia<\/h3>\n<p>Because of the cold, Seida has been worrying about the well-being of her children, especially for her 7-month-old Joyce. &ldquo;My worry was how my children will survive the cold, especially for Joyce who doesn&rsquo;t have anything better to keep her warm.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;I am grateful to World Vision for giving me such a precious gift, which I never expected. Who else could have given it to me here?&rdquo; she asks further. &ldquo;I have four children but none of them has ever had a privilege to feel the warmth of a blanket like this one.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>After receiving the blanket, Seida is so jovial that she seems the happiest of all. Baby Joyce is also smiling now as if she understands the precious gift she has just received.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;As you can see I am not the only one who is happy; my daughter is happy, too. We never expected this,&rdquo; Seida says joyfully.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_20684\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-20684\" style=\"width: 622px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-20684 lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/wvusstatic.com\/email\/met3\/spacer.gif\" alt=\"This Giving Tuesday, Thirty-One Gifts will match up to $2,000,000 with product!

Now that I have this blanket, I&rsquo;ll use it well so that the next child can also use it and benefit. As a mother, wrapping my child in such a blanket brings me honor and pride.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Seida is a small-scale farmer who cannot afford to buy such a blanket because they are expensive and cannot be accessed anywhere in rural areas.<\/p>\n<p>Because of poor rains, her produce has not been good enough to sustain them. &ldquo;Sometimes the food we store finishes before the next farming season. So when I find some money, I have to choose between keeping my children hungry and buying a blanket like this to keep one child warm.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Rachel Teodoro | World Vision Blog\" href=\"\/author\/rachel_teodoro\">I&rsquo;ve spent time meeting and talking with moms in Uganda and Zambia<\/a>, and they are just like me. They want to provide the necessities for their children, and they want to be able to give them the warmth and security their children need to grow and thrive, but because of life circumstances, these mothers can&rsquo;t always give them even the most basic necessities.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_20685\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-20685\" style=\"width: 622px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-20685 lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/wvusstatic.com\/email\/met3\/spacer.gif\" alt=\"This Giving Tuesday, Thirty-One Gifts will match up to $2,000,000 with product!
