                           Hope4China'sChildren's Day,  June 1st 2013


                                                           Happy 1st June
          from
            Wang Wang (the symbol of Guangxi Girls)
              painted by one of our talented Guangxi Girls!

                       Our girls coming from rural schools and now city universities
meeting together to make Jiaozi (dumplings) at the Office.


                                   Our Helen in charge of  cooking them





And everyone enjoying eating them - Great Team Effort

Then on to the The Birthday cake!!!!!

to celebrate 16 years of working with the Guangxi Girls!
The Team along with helpers and baby 
- we are into the new generations now!!!!!!!!


Some messages from the girls , some who were there and others unable to make it, but sending best wishes :-)


As fleeting  sixteen years have gone by in an instant, we have witnessed a time of love, accompanied by a process of spiritual growth. Meanwhile, as we have become more sophisticated  they have shown steady perseverance, joy and love, responsibility, and perseverance.
 This warm family gave us more than money and material riches, this is a love of family  always accompanying us, growing slowly. 
We are grateful, we remember.
Perhaps in this day of celebration, there are many like me, because of the distance we could not be gathered, but we believe that love's embrace has no borders.
I wish our family more and more, getting better and better! Thank all of you who pay, and all the people we love!!!!

 转眼十六个年头如白驹过隙,时间见证了我们在爱的陪伴下的心灵成长历程。同时,在我们越来越成熟的眼眸中,赐予了坚毅和稳重,欢乐和慈爱,责任和坚定。是这个温暖的大家庭给了我们超过了金钱与物质的财宝,是这个有爱的大家庭一直陪伴着我们慢慢成长。我们感恩,我们铭记。
也许在这个欢庆的日子还有很多人像我一样,因为距离而无法和大家欢聚一堂,但我们相信,爱的怀抱,没有边界。
祝愿我们的大家庭越走越远,越来越好!感谢一直为我们奔波付出的,所有爱我们的人!




Meanwhile, in Scotland, Buckhaven pupils were busy packing bags( lots of them!)
                                                      in Sainsbury's, Leven
                     where the staff and customers were so helpful and generous!

Grand Total raised .....
£1169.25

Amazing Day and Wonderful Connections for All
Well done everyone, both here and in China :-)
