(I received this email via my Chengdu Group.)
"Just wanted to let you know that we made a delivery to the Chengdu orphanage yesterday (Saturday here) of items that will be sent to the stricken orphanages. Most kids in the Chengdu orphanage were now on the 1st floor, though they all looked content. (We had a VERY brief tour.) Near the entrance we took turns holding 7 month old Ling Ling and were thoroughly entertained by Little Miss Miao Miao. If she is heading to your house, you better brace yourselves. She is a director in training and had us in stitches! We also met Tian Tian, who also seemed to be around 2. We weren't allowed to take pictures inside the orphanage, but I was allowed to snap a couple of our small entertainment committee!
We did more shopping today and our plan is to deliver tomorrow. Jenny and Richard Bowen are trying to figure out how to get the items to the orphanages, since the roads are now restricted and approval is needed to travel to the stricken areas. Just FYI, the highway to the new orphanage is actually leads to Dujiangyan, one of the areas that initially was in the news, mostly because it is the closest to Chengdu, thereby the most readily accessible.
We are being reimbursed by Half the Sky, so we are putting your dollars into action!
