@GoodGiving Challenge

Join Our @GoodGiving Challenge CALLING ALL SUPPORTERS Help us make a difference in a student's future The @GoodGiving Challenge begins now and goes through December 31st. Our goal is to add 35 more high school students. Each needs $415 for tuition and school needs.   You can give any amount on our  Giving Page.     We are competing with other KY charities for endowment awards based on unique donors and our total donations. Click on the @GoodGiving link and give as little as $5 or as much as you desire to help our students. Last year we got a $5,000 endowment prize. Help us do that again. I got to visit our high school students in Qinzhou, Du'an, Lingchuan, Yangshuo, and Chibi during my recent China trip. They are so appreciative of the tuition support we are giving them.  Shanghai United International School has raised $11,700 as matching funds to encourage people to donate on our Giving Page. They can't donate online, but they wanted to help by raising matching funds.  Qinzhou students greet us.

I've been burned and disappointed many times in China. Just keep doing your good work, and we'll help as best we can."  "Students took pledges for the number of laps they could run in 30 minutes. They raised over $11,700. Kids love to run and it's as simple as signing up donors. Most donors gave 1 kwai (15 cents) per lap. It added up quickly." The quote is from Judy Frohnaple, the faculty adviser to the charity prefects raising money for us at Shanghai United International School. Help us match their gift!  10 Students at Chibi No. 1 High School  Click for more pictures.

They only have 2 books for each child while the standard is 30 books.   $250 Give any amount BECOME A GIVER Originally, I was planing to use this money to buy a bag for myself since I have been wanting a bag for a while. But today I saw Luo Jia's post, and thought this money can be better used if it goes to the less fortunate people.  @GOODGIVING CHALLENGE    Our  recent China trip went very well. We gave shoes and socks to the students that three small primary schools in Longfu China, and visited many schools and projects.  Volunteer Tina Huang enjoyed giving out candy during our recent visit.
