"Update
Hi Everyone;Last night we received the particulars of the needs at the new ChungYi infant nursery.To raise funds, FFC will be selling a beautiful, wonderful children's chinese storybook. (A favorite with our children!) We ask that families purchase the book for a minimum donation of $25.00.But families may choose to purchase the book for a higher amount of their choice.All funds raised from the sale of this book will support first, the Chung Yi new nursery needs and then secondly our 2007 Picture the Future Project for the birth mother home in Tainan.Immediately, we will be raising funds for the following Chung Yi needs:Small newborn beds (4 needed)- $97.00 US dollars (estimated)Large Crib (6 needed)- $119.00 US dollars (estimated)Double stroller (2 needed)- $116.00 Us dollars (estimated)Single stroller (1 needed)- $74.00 US dollars (estimated)Non-adjustable recliner/rocker (2 needed)- $34.00 US dollars(estimated)Adjustable recliner/rocker (2 needed)- $67.00 US dollars (estimated)(Janalee- These are recliners are like the one you bought for Mayain Taiwan.)We think we have a handle on the crib bedding though we could use some fitted sheets and crib skirts. (Regular US crib size are okay!)FFC will be preparing a flyer with more information on our fundraising project and will post it to the group just as soon as we have more information!Thanks everyone,Laura Families For Children Director, Taiwan Adoption Serviceswww.familiesforchildrenadoption.com"

We shipped several boys outfit recently to Chung Yi. It will be getting cold in the next few months so hopefully they can use them!

Families For Children Request for Chung Yi Beds

Laura T. at FFC has advised and posted about the following information. We have also posted about it to the group.

Chung Yi will be opening their new nursery in a few days. They are in need of 4 newborn beds, and 8 crib size beds, along with the mattresses. Anybody that would like to, or if you know somebody that would like to, sponser a bed or donate to this cause please give me a shout. FFC will be donating the bedding for these beds. This new nursery will enable Chung Yi to help more infants.

You can also email Laura specifically at FFC, where she is welcoming anyone interested in contributions, at adopttaiwan@hotmail.com. Laura is awaiting info on costs for each bed.

Thank you.

WELCOME!!!

We (Ahma Penny and I, Nicole) have started this blog to keep updates on the donations that are being sent to Taiwan orphanages we are collecting and to exhange information on the needs of the children and organizations we hope to help. Thought it will say my name on the blog,because I already have blogs, it will be maintained by both of us. We would like to take this time to personally thank all of those who have participated in the dontation process this far and who have commited to the christmas "shoe-box" drive for the children of Chung Yi. Again their are 45 children toddler age on up and 10 infants. Some of these children are unadoptable and do not recieve packages from their new families. The need for these organizations is great. Though we all know we can not save every child of the world, working together we can help many children smile. Thanks again for your generousity and commitments. We will contiue to update the blog as donations are sent. We will be adding photos of the last packages that have been sent and will try to add some links as we go. We will also list other humanitarian aid projects here as well for information purposes and to help spread the word. You never know where your heart can lead you. Stay tuned!

Pictured above : included in donations were packages of socks for boys and girls, undershirts, underwear, toothbrushes and paste, 6 boys shorts, 4 girls outfits, 2 boys outfits, 2 girls jeans, and other things :)
