| Our Youth group members, ages 8 to 12 years old, made 45 lbs of chocolate into lollipops and bagged candy, and sold them at our annual Chinese New Year Celebration. In addition they sold t-shirts with our logo on it to raise this money. They were given a few choices as to where the money should be sent and they decided on sending the funds to Half the Sky. After careful consideration they collectively decided to sponsor a child in the Little Sister preschool program. |

| May 2010 Good evening, I am writing with an update on little Emily. I am very sad to say that the doctors were not able to fix her heart problem completely. They worked for almost 8 hours during her last surgery trying to repair the VSD with the heart catheter but her heart defect was more serious than they thought. The only other option for her right now is a very risky open heart surgery, but there are no garuntees that she would survive another surgery or that the problem would be fixed. We are currently looking into several options for her and hope to come up with a plan to help heal her heart. Please continue to keep this sweet little girl in your thoughts and prayers. Thank you, Danica Reed Heart Surgery Coordinator Love Without Boundaries Foundation "Changing the Lives of Orphans in China" www.lovewithoutboundaries.com |
| April 2010 Our chapter made two donations from this year's LNY raffle. Love Without Boundaries was given $330.00 for their emergency medical fund, and Greater NY, the same, for the education fund (that money will make it possible for 3 children to go to schools in their communities for a year). |
