Care Package for Shanna

Today, I sent a care package to Shanna, via a service call Red Thread China. Ann will receive our package, add in a package of 5 pairs of PJs to donate to the orphanage, a disposable camera and repackage it and send it on the the orphanage. We have to do it through a 3rd party like this because due to US regulations, we cannot have any direct contact with the orphanage. Ann can ask for updated photos and sometimes they will send a photo of the child with the items parents send. 

Here is a photo of what we mailed to her. I just love the dress and hope she does, too. She is in Southern China, where it is very warm and tropical. The book is a photo album/story about us and the picture is for her to put under her pillow. Ann at Red Thread wrote notes in Chinese about these things for us and translated a  letter to the nannies from us.



A very wonderful, Chinese-speaking friend translated this special book for Shanna. I printed it on card stock and another special person helped me to laminate and bind it so she could easily carry it around with her and enjoy looking at it with her friends and nannies.
