Happy Birthday, Olga!  This lovely Brazilian woman (yes, their club is at it again!) decided to gather her friends together at Hong Qiao’s Blue Frog last week for a celebratory luncheon.  Her request was that each person give a monetary donation to Baobei Foundation rather than bring a gift.  Olga’s heart was so moved when she handed me a gift box filled with 7500 RMB!!!  This money will go directly to saving a child’s life.

She emailed me today and said another friend liked the idea so much, she’s doing the same thing soon!  I love how creative our volunteers are about fundraising, and what birthday gift could hold more meaning than this?  Thanks, Olga!
