Xmas drive donations delivered
Laura let me know that when they traveled they got all the bags together and they delivered them to Chung yi. She said they have pictures that they will be emailing soon. Thought this wasnt an FFC project directly, they were happy to be involved and played an important roll. We thank them and their kindness as well as Sally's in Taiwan, for everything they did from accepting donations at their home, packaging them into their gift bags while in Taiwan on a busy schedule and delivering many to Taiwan. It was a huge commitment and we do THANK FFC STAFF AND VOLUNTEERS for that. Everyone was super excited from both FFC and Chung Yi and very impressed by the love and caring of all of you! It was a great turn out for these kids and will most likely impact there lives more than any of us will ever know. It may just be one Christmas, though it would be great to do every year, it is sure to last a lifetime in their hearts for those old enough to remember and the infants and toddlers will have pictures and letters to let them know a piece of their past they don't remember. There will be atleast one answer for them when they question "was I loved in Taiwan?" Yes you were loved and thought about little ones! Thank you all for your help and support during the drive we thank you all and your families for taking part of such an important project! Pictures to come as soon as they are sent from FFC.

Update on xmas project
Like we said the gifts and packages have finally begun to arrive. Laura has already received many packages as has Penny. I will carry one large suitcase to Taiwan full of donations/packages and meet Sally with them once we arrive. Laura T. will also be in Taiwan the same time and will bring several suitcases with her and the other volunteers full. We have one other family traveling that will bring some of teh gifts as well and I wil meet her there and get them from her and give them to Sally as well. We had an amazing turnout and i think mom said that most of the children will recieve more than one package! Amazing. I would like to thank her at this time for working os hard and constant on this project. She has worked many hours coordinating and working out the plans for this to work. It will impact the lives of these children. We are so excited to hear how it all turns out in december when the children receive their packages from each of you! Thank you all and thank you mom.
