Hanging HUGS are fabric hammocks sewn by Corazon for your enjoyment and to benefit homeless children and adults who need nothing more than a cozy place to rest.

Your Hanging HUG purchase enables the Action Hero Network to create HUGS to be given freely to needy people in Uganda, Mexico, and Haiti. Hanging HUGS can be used to provide beds in orphanages, hospitals, schools and disaster relief around the world where emergency accommodation is required.

You get something really nice for a great price...

and help people who can not afford one to have the same.

Sewing machines donated by the Action Hero Network to Life in Africa, an art collective in Kampala, Uganda's Capital, and Bunabumali Good Samaritan Orphanage and Needy School, located in the mountains of Eastern Uganda, are now being used to create school uniforms and many other things to generate funds for these organizations. Others who we've taught how to sew have taken this method for making hammocks to Peru to empower women's groups.

Action Hero Network community organizer, Cory Richardson, will be in Haiti during May and June to construct a bamboo dome called the BIG LOVE BUBBLE OF SAFETY AND COMFORT. The dome will be a community gathering space like the ones we set up after hurricane Katrina. Our LOVE BUBBLE will be a healing center with many hammocks, and a creative space with a tool library.

A large donation of ladies vintage designer clothing(mostly silk in plus sizes, brand new condition with tags still on them) was given to support Action Hero projects and we want to sell these clothes NOW to fund projects in Haiti. The clothes were recently on a rack in the Saint John City Market and will now be displayed in this album.

You can also support our efforts in Haiti by ordering Hanging Hugs while we are down there, and Cory will send out HUGS when back in Canada at the end of June. An additional shipping charge of $15 will be required for hammock orders outside of New Brunswick, that will need to be delivered parcel post. The shipping charge will decrease to $5 for each additional hammock sent to the same address.

Standard hammocks range from $50 for light weight nylon fabrics to $80 for heavy duty patio furniture fabrics.

Hammocks that are lined with satin or fleece are $100. Fun fur lined range from $120 to $200.

The below video shows people in Bunabumali sewing hammocks using machines donated by the Action Hero Network. In the second part, Norman and I set up a hammock in the home of a young mother named Bess, sewn by students at Rothsay High School in New Brunswick, Canada. The final scene shows Cory entertaining children with hoop tricks.

Norman and Cory finish setting up the sewing machines, and then walk down the hill to the house to make pancakes for the family.

This CBC report was broadcast on Christmas Eve 2007, showing Philip Sweezey's 4th grade class at Morna Heights School sewing hammocks that were gifted to homeless youth in Uganda.
