I awoke this morning to a lovely surprise in my inbox: an email from Institut Giola with an update on Bow. It read:
We are the present holders of “Bow”, our Traveling Bear. At first it came as a surprise and we did not know how to handle its “special abilities”.
Our first action was to carry Bow to the class of the students who had been partners at the Exchange and explained the reason for his presence among us. Soon, students started to pass it around, curious about his outlook and touch. Spontaneously, they established a shift order to look after him.
Up to the moment, half of the group has already cared about Bow. However, the rest has not showed a special interest yet.
Our general assessment is that it has been of great help to endure and convey our emotions at this difficult time.
We would like to thank you for your kind action.
Please find enclosed a picture of Bow performing one of his special abilities.
