One of the blessings of my job is working with our sponsors. We have an amazing group of families that love our kids. In the past year many of our children have met their forever families.

Recently we have had some of our sponsorship terms expire. Of course our hope is that all of our sponsors will stay on.. But, we understand when it is time to move on. We appreciate all of the support they give to our babies. It is because of our sponsors that our foster families and our China team can make a difference in the lives of our kids.

Our goal is to grow our network of sponsors. We hope that you will feel called to be Bamboo Parents. If you are waiting for a referral, will you consider sponsoring one of our children while you wait? It's a beautiful way to bring an orphan home...

Each of the five children pictured above needs one sponsor today. You can go directly to our sponsorship link HERE. Click on either the Changsha or Zhanjiang Tab. This directs you to PayPal where you can sign up. *If there is a specific child you would like to sponsor you can note that on your PayPal transaction. Or you can email me! It is $35.00 per month to sponsor one of our children. The minimum commitment is one year. Payment by check is also an option if you contact me.

If you have any questions, please email me directly at diana@pearlriveroutreach.org.

Bloggers/Sponsors: Feel free to pass this on!

Blessings,

Diana

We Need Two New Sponsors for Zhanjiang Babies!

We have been so blessed with wonderful sponsors for our Bamboo Babies. I wish there was a way to get the entire group together.. It would be a special day!

Recently we have had two spots open up for two of our babies in the Guangdong Province, Caitlin and Aiden.

Caitlin was born on May 1st, 2009. She moved from the orphanage setting to our program on July 20, 2009. In May she was 28" tall, and 17 pounds. As of this visit she was not talking yet, but understands everything. Her Foster Mother stated that she loves her very much!!

Aiden was born on August10th, 2008. As of his May visit he was 31" tall and 21 pounds. His foster mother reports that he is climbing on furniture. He loves to grab objects in his reach. He does not like it when his toys are taken away!! Sounds like a normal two year old to me!!

If you would like to join our Pearl River Outreach program by sponsoring Caitlin or Aiden please go to this link! Then click on the Zhanjiang Tab and choose the monthly, quarterly, or annual tab. We look for a minimum of one year commitments at $35.00 per month. We will be notified by PayPal of your sponsorship commitment and I will follow up with you!

If you have any questions, you can email me personally at diana@pearlriveroutreach.org.

I look forward to hearing from you!!

Blessings,

Diana

Our Bamboo Babies Need Your Help!!

Welcome back to the Pearl River Blog. As you can see we have had a little makeover! We are so thrilled with what the talented Design Girl did for us! Thank you Danielle!

My name is Diana and I am the newest member of the PRO team. I am thrilled to be here. I am blessed to have two children, one who is from China. I have a heart for orphans, and the opportunity to give back in this way is an awesome blessing for me! One year ago a friend asked me to help with the sponsorship of a Bamboo Baby. I was so touched to be asked to help. $35.00 a month seemed like so little to provide food, shelter, and love to another. I hope you will feel the same way, and that you will join our Pearl River Family today.

Our goal is to have 4 sponsor families per child. This allows us to keep the cost of sponsorship low while meeting the rising costs of formula, and overall support of our children. Below are our precious Bamboo Babies that need sponsors immediately!

Also, before I lose my audience, please take note of the adorable button on the sidebar that Danielle created for our blog. We would love to be linked to as many of you as possible. And, if you do, please leave me a comment! And, if you are a sponsor or frequent visitor and you would like us to link to your blog, please let me know that too!

Without further ado, I present our babies who need YOU!

If you would like to sponsor one of our babies, please go here! Or, to our donate button on the side bar. Then click on the program where the specific child is that you would like to sponsor. (You can email me the name of the child you would like, or you can make a note on your paypal order too.) You can set up your account to pay monthly, quarterly, or annually. You can use PayPal, or you can send a check to PRO. If you choose to pay monthly or quarterly, your account will be automatically deducted after the first payment. As a sponsor you will get quarterly updates and a photo of your child. If you aren't interested in sponsoring a child, but would like to help, there are so many other ways. A donation to honor a friend or family member is a great way to give a gift! This is my new favorite birthday gift for my friends!

We will do our best to honor your wishes to sponsor a specific child. Our goal is for all of our Bamboo Babies to be loved until they can be adopted. When your child is placed with their forever family, we will joyfully notify you and assign another one of our kiddos to your family!

We are grateful for your gifts, and for your prayers for our children!

If you visited us today, we would love to hear from you! Blessings to you, and welcome back to Pearl River! I hope you will come back soon. I will be posting frequently about our kids, families, sponsors, and opportunities!
