Trinity Update
Trinity is our sweetie who is in foster care through New Day Creations. Her adoption is still pending, and she is simply thriving in her environment. She is in pre-school and learning songs, rhymes and a little English! She is perceptive and learns very quickly. She is polite and uses the proper terms when talking to her elders. She is well liked by all who know her. Click here to Trinity.
Wen Update
Wen is one of our sponsored fostercare children with Love Without Boundaries. She is now 3 years old. Wen's favorite activities are singing and dancing. We just received a video clip of her “performing”. It is absolutely precious. She is in kindergarten and is a very good student who receives many “red flowers” (like gold stars). She knows her numbers and colors and plays well with the other children. It is so fulfilling to see her transformed from the sad little girl we saw in the orphanage to the happy smiling angel we see now. Click here to see Wen.
July DTC Update
Da, a little boy in Guangdong Province will be smiling a brand new dazzling smile by the end of the month because this group of Dragonflies raised funds for his cleft lip surgery through Love Without Boundaries with their product sales. This surgery will greatly increase his chances of adoption and will forever change the course of his life.
Chen Shun Fu is tiny little cutie that is sponsored into Half the Sky's infant nurture program in Chenzhou , Hunan by the Dragonflies. We will update you on her progress in her new attentive nurturing environment.
Love Without Boundaries will be providing treatment for little Ru for his club feet. He will be transferred to Hope Foster Home so he can receive the medical care and therapy during his treatment and recovery. The Dragonflies provided the final amount needed to fund this treatment.
We're not done yet! Check in again to see what else this group will be able to support. Thank you Dragonflies for coming together and supporting these beautiful children. You are a special group of people.

Born In My Heart Art Auction 2006
For the third year, Michela and Alexis are donating art to this amazing auction that raises money to fund heart surgeries. Last year 8 children were healed. Love Without Boundaries will be holding this auction in May and are hoping to have over 500 items for sale. Click here to see this year's submissions.
Yan Update
Yan is now 4 years old. She is sponsored into foster care through Love Without Boundaries. She is continuing to develop well, but has some difficulties due to her autism. She is very active and enjoys playing toss, swinging and rocking on her horse. Our prayer for Wen is that there will be a kindergarten that she would be able to attend.

DTC Groups project
We are so happy with the results of our DTC merchandise fundraisers. We handled logo merchandise for 2 groups. Alexis created the logo for the June 2005 DTC group (June Jitterbugs) and Michela created the logo for the July 2005 DTC group (July Dragonflies).
We are selling a variety of products including luggage tags, keychains, bandanas, quilt squares, bibs, lanyards, stickers, and jewelry in addition to our normal product line items.
The response was HUGE! As of now, the June group raised $1263 in profit and the July group $1613!!!! I am starting to designate money according to the groups vote. Stay tuned for the updates about the lives that will be changed by these wonderful DTC groups!
June DTC Update
There is a beautiful little boy named Zhi in Guangdong Province who will receive his cleft lip surgery through Love Without Boundaries at the end of the month thanks to the funds raised from the proceeds of the June Jitterbug product sales. We can't wait to see his beautiful new smile and new life with an increased chance of finding his forever family.
Chen Bi Ling in Chenzhou , Hunan will now be enrolled in Half the Sky's infant nurture program at that SWI. She will have a trained nanny to give her the extra love and care that she needs to thrive and develop while she waits for her forever family.
Little Rui in Henan is now sponsored into foster care through Love Without Boundaries. This sweet boy will now be in a family environment while waiting for his forever family to find him. Click here to see Rui.
Stay tuned to see what else this group will be able to sponsor. It's amazing to see the impact on these precious lives when a group of people come together for a common cause. Thank you so much Jitterbugs! You are awesome!

Talia Ogren and Friends Help Wishes Come True!
This special little girl did something really amazing to celebrate her 8 th birthday. She decided that she wanted to do something to help others. She has two siblings adopted from China , so she decided she would like to help the children who are waiting in China 's SWI's. She decided to ask for donations instead of gifts at her birthday party, and also went to her church and asked for donations. All together this extraordinary girl raised $600! She decided she wanted to sponsor a child on Love Without Boundaries medical needs list. She chose baby Ru, who was in need of treatment for his club feet. There was one other sponsor for Ru, but he still needed over $300 to fund his treatment. As you may have read above…the July Dragonflies product sales provided that amount and little Ru will be healed. Thank you Talia and friends. Because you care, a little boy's life is forever changed. Kids CAN make a difference! Click here to see Talia and her siblings and friends as they celebrated and “helped make wishes come true”.
