We are writing our update a week early because today is the start of our
"Born in My Heart" art auction, with 100% of the proceeds going to heal
Children's' hearts in China. Volunteers have worked all year long to put
This event together, and you truly can help save the life of a child by
Bidding on any of the more than 250 items listed. (Items will load all day
Today). I love this event so much, as we always have so many children
Waiting for heart surgery, and many are critical. So many times a child
Needs to be moved immediately to save his or her life, and Born in My Heart
Allows us to help those who are urgent. Thanks for spreading the news
About this event from May 18-23rd. I would be so grateful if you have a
Blog, if you could let even more people know. The items are beautiful and
The need is great. Together we can heal the hearts of some truly incredible
Kids. http://www.lovewith outboundaries. com/ArtAuction. php
Our May newsletter is now online and is filled with so many great stories.
You will definitely want to read about Baby Wang's journey, as it shows the
Beauty of the kindness of the strangers, and also the story of HuaHua, as a
Gift of great joy came from a great tragedy:

Several LWB education volunteers are in China now selecting locations for
Our next Believe in Me schools. These schools for kids with special needs
Offer children who have been unable to attend public school a chance to
Learn and experience the joy of music, books, and more. Yesterday
Volunteers visited our second such school in Hunan, and I read their report
With tears in my eyes as I heard how the kids were giggling and laughing and
Were filled with newly found confidence and self esteem. You can see some
Of the photos on our blog at http://www.lwbchina blog.blogspot. com/. We
Will have much more information on the new schools next month.
Other exciting news from this month include new foster care programs in
Yunnan province and Zhengzhou, Henan province, our Manual of Special Needs
Being translated into Spanish, the end of a very successful neurosurgery
Mission at Shanghai Children's Hospital in partnership with the Shepherd's
Crook and Dr. Lazareff from UCLA, and a new nutrition program for the kids
In the Foshan orphanage of Guangdong. You can read more about all of this
In our newsletter. I ask myself just about every day how big an
Organization can get that is run completely by volunteers all over the
World, and every day I am reminded that when people with a pure love of
Helping children come together..nothing is too big to accomplish.
Please doodle hearts all over your calendar and daily planner to remind
Yourself that some special children are waiting for heart surgery. And
Visit our heart auction today to play a part in healing them! Thank you
For helping us change their lives.
From our hearts to theirs,
