Finding Neela and HanRui: August 2007

Finally took the big step and started a blog site for the final stretch in our journey. We are expecting to get our approval from China in the next week or two, and then hope to travel around the end of September.

Links of Interest

Above are some links related to where Neela has been living up until she joined our family.

Half the Sky (now One Sky) foundation has done a lot of great things to educate caregivers, support children's programs, and in general, greatly improve the lives for orphaned children living in institutional settings. Half the Sky, along with Holt International, has sponsored the family village program for children with special needs. Neela had been living with a family in this program.

Also, check out this amazing book, Wish You Happy Forever, written by Jenny Bowen, founder of Half the Sky. She set out to provide an opportunity for loving and nurturing care for all orphans in China and she did it! Thank you, Jenny, for your role in providing Neela's loving care.

A Child's Right is an organization that came into the Nanchang Social Welfare Institute in May of 2007 and improved the water quality. 90% of the drinking water in China was not healthy to drink at that time.
