Please send warm wishes & thoughts to our Jade

The worst winter storms for 50 years have caught Southern China unprepared. Many of the SWI's (Social Welfare Institutes) are not coping with the cold and are having trouble keeping babies warm... One has not had electricity or running water for 8 days!!

This website lists SWI's that the charitable organisation "Half the Sky" works with, and the conditions they are experiencing.

Although Jade's is not listed (Yichun SWI , Jiangxi - I don't think they work with them?) 3 others from her province are listed as in need.
I just can't wait to get to her - hopefully we can get quickly through the travel chaos!!
& of course we are thinking of all the other little ones too... It just breaks your heart!
