New Yangchun Fundraiser!!

"Beautiful Yang Chun Charming Land" is the title of this promotional DVD about the Yangchun area - and it includes English captions! This is a rare find for a couple of reasons. In the past, when we've been fortunate enough to find Yangchun-related items for our families, they've included very little, if any, English translation. Providing even a partial translation for our families is difficult, time consuming and entails additional costs. Plus, it is very difficult to find Yangchun items in large enough quantities to offer them to our families. Items like this DVD are produced by the Yangchun government specifically for business conventions and trade fairs. They are not produced for sale to the general public, so it is almost impossible to purchase them. Some of our families have visited Yangchun and have been given wonderful Yangchun promotional items, but they are usually no longer available, or again, not available for sale in large quantities.

Find out more about this DVD and get all the ordering information on the DVD web page.

 

TRANSLATION NEEDS : We also have a few other items from Yangchun that we would like to offer with full or partial translations. We thank those who have donated translation services in the past and continue to do so. It is difficult work and we would like to make it easier by sharing the task among several volunteers.

If you, or someone you know, would like to help us raise funds for the Yangchun Development Fund by providing some translation services, we would love to hear from you! We are so very grateful to those who have selflessly done this on behalf of the children still being cared for in Yangchun. We contine to need this help and appreciate it so much! If you can help out, please contact Linda Fielding.


Check out these great note cards. They are another fundraiser now in process to help finance travel expenses for Yu Hong Ying and her boss to attend the 2008 Yangchun reunion. One of our Yangchun moms came up with idea and worked with some young Yangchun artists to design these cards. For more photos and ordering information, please visit the note card web site.
