Liuzhou Orphanage

Our son, Evan Jun, is from Liuzhou City, Guangxi. We have contacted his orphanage and they have expressed a very real need for their children. Most of the children living at this orphanage have medical issues and need some kind of medical intervention; surgeries and/or therapy. We have decided we will do all we can to help this orphanage as well -raising funds for medical needs for the children. It is our hope and prayer than many children will be placed for adoption once their medical needs are taken care of.

We are in the beginning stages of working on this so stay tuned for more information.

We have been told the orphanage is in need of some large toy items (ride on cars, etc...) and so we are raising $500 to purchase these for the orphanage. Our kids will be doing most of the fundraising for this as it is a fun way for them to give back to the beautiful children still living at Liuzhou SWI. As always, you can help by clicking on the donate button and specifying it's for the toy fund.

KIDS CARNIVAL is BOOKED!

Our 2nd annual KIDS CARNIVAL is scheduled for Sunday, May 25th (Raindate: June 1).
This year we will once again be raising funds to build an outdoor playground at an orphanage. We haven't finalized our decision on which orphanage but we think it will be one in the city where Alyssa is from .

BOOK THIS DAY FOR YOUR FAMILY - Sunday, May 25 from 2:00-5:00 at Confederation Landing (waterfront in Charlottetown).

Enjoy many carnival games, bouncy tents, clowns, magic, BBQ, canteen and much more! This year, we have invited Child Find PEI in honor of National Missing Children's Day (May 25) and there will be tons of fun events and booths to bring awareness to child safety and issues facing children both globally and locally. ("All About Me I.D" fingerprinting, "Kids in the Know" and "Street Smarts" with puppets and stories)

Wii Tickets are still available and the draw date is MAY 14th! You can visit our family adoption site and purchase tickets with the donate button or you can email me and I'll set you up another way! Thanks so much.

Hi Tammy,
Would you like me to set up a Facebook event of the Carnival?
Also, I'll be glad to make cookies for the Carnival. I'll make lots and lots.

Hi Tammy,

Sorry it has taken me so long to reply to your comment. It is now looking like we won't be allowed into any government-run SWIs, and will have to focus on foreign-run ones. We are saddened. Our first fundraising event is May 22 in the Toronto area. I’m in the process of taking my blog private- I will add your email to the list. Take care!
