"It's almost that time and I can't wait to set foot in Taiwan for oursecond annual Picture the Future humanitarian project!This year we've agreed to remodeling the St. Lucy Center/GoodShepherd Sisters Birth Mother Care Home in Tainan, Taiwan. It seemsSt. Lucy's enjoyed our help so much last year, that they'd like us torepeat our efforts and help create a new birth mother care home.This is an amazing project to be a part of as so many of the birthmothers we work with have been cared for in this home.St. Lucy's has provided us with photos of the birth mother home as itlooks currently. We've created a short video of the home which we'veposted to our program Easysite website.To view videos of last year's project and this year's project, pleasevisit www.easysite.com/ffctaiwan. Click on the "Video" section andenjoy!A big thanks to Carrie Mosley who has organized the design of thisyear's project! Carrie has designed the birth mother rooms and willbe giving instructions for families who would like to purchasebedding and room decorations. We are also in great need of monetarydonations. We'll need to have the home cleaned and prepared forpainting and as you can see from the photos, they are in desperateneed of new furniture. Beds, decent mattress, desks, etc. Inaddition, the bathrooms desperately need to be redesigned andremodeled. The cost of just the furniture and bathroom remodel isgreat and we will need lots of help to make the needed major changes.We're excited to have a great group of volunteers this year but coulduse MORE! If you, a family member, friend, co-worker, neighbor, etc.would love the opportunity to spend six days in southern Taiwanpainting, cleaning, planting, sightseeing and enjoying the localculture, please invite them to join us!We've got a full fun-filled week and will be posting the itinerary,cost and additional trip information shortly.We appreciate your support of this great project!
