China update


In Evelyn's post of March 8, she mentioned the need she saw in the Brain-injury orphanage in Sanya for beds for the children. She just sent me this email with the following good news!

Dear Friends -
I just got an e-mail from the Brain-injury orphanage in Sanya, China and with the $1000USD that we raised and sent to them - they were able to purchase good beds for the children and some of the workers - plus money left over to buy better linens for the beds - the Orphanage Director, Maggie Davis was overwhelmed and so thankful for the generous gift given by the people of Canada for making life "a little easier" for the orphans in China!
Many thanks to all those who supported the fund-raiser auction in March and any ongoing support - you are making a difference in this world!
I will be returning to this orphanage in November.

The children in this picture live in an orphanage in the mountains of China, near the Vietanmese border. Humanitarian Hope helped start this orphanage and Evelyn and her team will be visiting them in November.


The team will also be visiting a baby orphanage during their November trip. We are currently collecting clean, good condition baby clothes. We have a few wonderful ladies knitting sweaters and baby blankets to send along. If you would like to help out with a donation of clothing or wool for the knitting projects, see the link at the side for the Humanitarian Hope website and contact information.
