“This doll is really naked,” proclaimed 4-year-old Ainsley Sisk as she kissed its cloth head and plopped down on the floor of the Shands Cancer Resource Center to dig through doll clothes.

After she dressed the doll in a pink shirt and black, checkered pants and gave it a face and hair, Ainsley added it to a box with 25 others to be sent to an orphanage in the Guangdong Province of China.

Hundreds of handmade dolls and stuffed animals have been gifted to children around the world thanks to Dollies Without Borders, a project started by Shands artist-in-residence Madeline Austin.
