Donations At Work

ConcordiaWith your support Friends of Adoptive Families has been able to improve the lives of orphaned children in South Korea, China, Philippines, and Guatemala. 

Our 2007 event raised $14,700.00 to benefit the many children overseas still waiting for their forever family.

  • $4800.00 donation to the Friends of Adoptive Families Fund. This fund will reduce the adoption fees of two waiting special needs children in hopes of reducing their wait time for a forever family.
  • $1000.00 donation to fund the salary of a childcare worker at Concordia Children’s Services in the Philippines.
  • $2000.00 donation to the Tomorrow Plan, an initiative to help the estimated 30,000 children in Chinese orphanages currently in need of surgery and/or specialized medical care.
  • $3000.00 donation to Korea Social Services Home in South Korea for diapers, formula & worker salaries.
  • $1000.00 for basic need items to Los Ninos de Guatemala.
  • $2500.00 donation towards the China Service Project  May 2008. Volunteers traveled to the Yanjiao orphanage outside Beijing where they renovated a kitchen & created wheelchairs for special needs children.

    A portion of our donation was used to help purchase lap top for Li Feng. Li Feng lives at an orphanage in the Zhejiang province of China and suffers from polio. Our 2006 donation to China’s Tomorrow Plan financed Li Feng’s leg surgery.  Our China Representative, Mrs. Cai has been able to meet with LiFeng several times over past few years and keeps us up to date on her progress.  Above is Ms Cai presenting LiFeng with her with her lap top.  She was very happy & appreciative to everyone who has been helping her.   There is no internet access at the hospital so Ms Cai downloaded some pop songs & Mr Ji, director of the Tomorrow Plan input some pictures of her.  LiFeng said she doesnt know how to type but she will practice it.
