We have two great ways to get involved during this season of Thanksgiving! First, sponsor one of our Bamboo Babies. I promise you will be blessed! Secondly, give to our "Meadows Gift of Love" project and help some special children in Changsha this month!

Below are 7 of our Bamboo Babies that are in need of sponsors now! We had SEVEN of our treasures in the past few weeks join their forever families!

Chip In for the Bamboo Babies!!



Does a simple act of kindness ever make you cry? Does the opportunity to bless another, surprise you by how much it ends up blessing you? Do you ever wonder why we have so much and some have so little....

Today I received an email from one of our sponsors, Debbie. Her precious daughter has been very sick for the past year with a rare form of Aplastic Anemia. While they await news of a potential bone marrow transplant for Hannah, Debbie is thinking of others. She has put together the "Precious Treasures" fundraiser for the Bamboo Babies... You can check it out here.. And, why you are there please pray for this family! Thank you Debbie & Satu!

(You can order this beautiful print depicting two sisters (one from China) at Debbie's site)

And, then there is another sponsor group, the Meadows group. Their hearts are so big that they have approached us about blessing 88 orphans in the Changsha Welfare Institute where we have several Pearl River babies. In fact we just received two more babies this week, (new arrival photos coming soon!) We are naming this project "The Meadows Gift of Love Project." The goal is to raise $1000 by December 1st to send out 88 care packages for Christmas to the children. Here is how you can include these kiddos on your Christmas/Holiday list:
