Christian Action Asia - Now an Approved Charity in the US!

Christian Action's very first China Program Manager Adam Voysey will be helping us get the new US charity Christian Action Asia get off the ground

I am so excited to tell you that we are now registered in the US as Christian Action Asia!  We have been granted full tax exempt public charity status for US taxpayers!  This is huge news for the many adoptive parents in the US who have told me they want to support the Children's Homes in Qinghai. Of course, this is even bigger news for those in Qinghai who will benefit from the support we receive! We now need to register in every US state where we plan to fundraise.

A Boy Who Steals Hearts!

This week I'm introducing you to perhaps the bravest little boy I have ever met.  His name is Bin Bin. In 1998, at two weeks old,  he was abandoned, probably because he had several congenital deformities.  Someone picked him up and took him to the police station.  There were no clues and his parents could not be located, so he was admitted to our Children's Home.

She has a FAMILY!

Here's some fantastic news! Xiao Shan, who stole our hearts two years ago, has been adopted!

Hitting her head in frustration is very definitely in her past!

Happy Chinese New Year!

Dear friends,

As you no doubt know this is a special time of celebration throughout Asia. Chinese New Year is our longest holiday on  the lunar calendar.   We spend the time with our families and friends, cherishing all we have received, and wishing each other health and prosperity for the coming year.

On behalf of my family, my staff in Hong Kong and in Qinghai, China, I wish you a happy celebration in this year of the Tiger!

May God richly bless you in the year ahead,

Siew Mei.
