Concordia Girl Scouts Making Their Change Count
The first grade girl scout troop, lead by Missy Kotkin, gave Baobei a sweet donation from their hearts today. They each brought 30 RMB (some more) to help Baobei save lives. Thanks, girls! Keep up the great work!

SCIS Pudong Girls Inspired by Baobei
Liv Svanheld and Jaden Deneef, 3rd graders from SCIS Pudong, are already talking about starting their own charity after visiting Baby Wade at SCMC.
Liv’s mother, Inga, said, “They feel so privileged now and want to help children less fortunate than themselves.”
The Svanhelds are moving to Singapore soon, and Liv had the idea to have a garage sale and donate the money to Baobei. Jaden and she organised all of the items and after two days of sales raised 1300 RMB for Baby Wade’s surgery.
Thanks girls! Keep up the great work!
Baby Wade will return to Anhui province with his caretaker later this week after having surgery to reconnect his colostomy.

Baobei Celebrates 2 Years of Saving Lives
A little late for the blog, but had to document this mark in history… we recently celebrated our 2 year birthday! Rebecca Neilsen, Baobei volunteer, hosted this lovely event which took place near the Bund at the lovely, historic Hamilton House restaurant. We had about 80 guests, including Dr. Bao from SCMC. The highlight was testimonies from healing homes who will say good bye to their “baobeis” for adoption, and others who have been able to adopt these precious children as their own. Enough words, let the pictures tell the story… Thanks to all for helping us make these first two years a great success! Our volunteer generosity makes our work possible! Together we have helped over 45 children, half of whom are matched for adoption!
