Pictured above is a care package we sent to Beijing Children's Welfare Institute for Ming, Caretakers, Director and other children. We really hope she got the package. I just love the stuffed moose. It was a gift from a secret buddy of the Oct 2006 DTC group. So cute! The red box in the photo didn't make it because it was too bulky for the UPS box. We also included two short letters translated in Chinese - one for the Director/Caretakers and one for Ming.Today we had our pre-travel meeting w/the A Helping Hand travel group. The meeting lasted a little over 2 hours - whew!, but it was very informative. We are travel group #93. 14 other families are in our travel group. It looks like we'll be possibly traveling June 26th - July 12/16th. Wow! We have possible dates now! We won't actually know the confirmed dates until about 2 weeks before we travel. Because Ming is from Beijing we are required to stay 8 business days in Beijing instead of the typical 5.
Please take a minute to send positive thoughts to all those living near China's southwest earthquake today. We are very thankful Ming is in Beijing and wasn't directly effected by the quake. We hope her safety continues. We also think of all the people in Myanmar Cyclone as well - and hope that they can receive increased aid.

wow! You have travel dates! That is so exciting! What a great care package, Ming will love it.
Saying prayers for the people of China....it is so very sad.
Soooooo glad you like the stuffed moose we sent...here's hoping Ming will like it too :) We continue to follow your journey to China and look forward to hearing all about it when you return home.
Best wishes!
