Child Ambassadors Girl Campaign

The Child Ambassadors have a goal of getting 500 girls from Cambodia, China, India and Thailand sponsored by May 1st. Poor girls in Asia are in especially difficult circumstances; as families struggle to survive, girls are vulnerable to child labor, sex-trafficking, and early marriage. Boys are typically valued more in these cultures and IF a family has money for schooling or medicine it typically goes to the male of the family. But you can make a difference by sponsoring one of these beautiful children.

This campaign is different than ones we have done in the past like the Gulu Project. The photos of these girls cannot be posted on the internet because of how at-risk they are. So if you are interested in sponsoring one, let me know. I have all their information that I can give you in an email (first name, age, birthday, number of family members). I have 9 children available right now that will only be available for sponsorship through me. 4 of the folders will be good until March 28th, 5 until April 7th. What does that mean? If I don’t get them sponsored by then, they go back into the system to give another Child Ambassador or Independent Artist a chance to get them sponsored.

Mike and I sponsor 2 girls from Cambodia and they are sweet and so excited to be able to attend school and have school supplies. We receive wonderful letters, photos and cards from them. Let me know if you want more information – working with World Vision is one of the GREATEST blessings of my life.

Update as of March 7th

The newest batch of referrals came out Monday. The CCAA got through Oct. 24th, 2005. If we based our predictions on past performance we should be next!!!! I get excited just thinking about it! Hopefully in about 4 weeks we will get THE CALL. There are no holdiays in March so hopefully they will move along at a speedy pace and get the next batch out soon.

It is so fun to look at all the photos of the beautiful babies people have posted on the various yahoo groups in the last few days. And all I can think is, “We should be NEXT!!”

Baby registry

We headed out to Babies R Us tonight and registered. There was tons of stuff we could skip because of the age Nadia will be when we get her, but we still scanned a lot of goodies.
I hit Target on Monday to get the registry set up.

We are waiting to register for multiple items until we acutally get her referral and we get to see her age/size. It was a lot of fun though 🙂
