Long ago and far from where we live now, I took two classes in Chinese. Yep, Chinese! Loved them, too. Why? Because we were considering adopting from that country, so I was hoping to learn more about the language and culture. At that time we didn't qualify for the program...actually some say we still don't. I don't accept a "no" from anyone but God anymore though. I will never forget the end of class assignment - a short play, written and performed (pretty poorly probably!) all in Chinese. It was basically a dialogue between me and a young girl who was waiting in China for us to come and bring her home.
New Horizons for Children has begun hosting children from China, so in a way, I can help to connect some of those young ones with families now after all of these years. The little girl in that play never left my heart....
Here is LaShay. She is hoping for a family to host her in February of 2013. I am committing to pray for her, give to her scholarship fund (she has been given $500 so far), share about her, and be willing to do more should God intervene and move the mountains present. Anyone want to join me?
She has until December 15th to be chosen by a family on the East Coast only (first program from China can only host in this area).
Several boys are still waiting for the same program. Contact me or New Horizons before 12/15 if you are interested in more information about them!
From her photolisting with New Horizons - Another of China children we hope to place for the February host program: Meet LaShay: She is 12 years old. Her favorite subject is Chinese and she was awarded with being the 2nd in her class as far as overall grades! She likes to sing and dance and draw. If she could improve one thing, she said she would like to improve her dancing. If she could change one thing, LaShay wishes she were a bit taller! She gets along great with others and is happy, smiles and gives good eye contact to whoever she is talking with. LaShay’s favorite color is purple and she thinks she would like a smaller family with just one or two other children if given a choice.
