Giving Challenge

I completely lifted this from a fellow blogger/adopting Mom's blog...but she wrote it out so well that I couldn't help myself.

The Case Foundation, in partnership with Facebook, will be awarding $750,000 to inspire millions of people to take the CHALLENGE and learn how simple technology can be a force for good and giving.

Love Without Boundaries is a volunteer organization providing medical care, foster care, education, and nutrition to orphaned children in China. In 2006, their overhead was under 3% as they work without salaries in order to get every penny possible to the children. In 2006 they helped over 400 children have life changing surgery, had foster care programs in over a dozen cities in China, helped hundreds of children attend school, and provided nutrition to orphanages around China. Donating to LWB truly brings hope to those children who live as orphans. You can be a part of changing lives forever. The $50,000 prize can SAVE THE LIVES of ten innocent babies born with heart disease who are struggling to survive.

All it takes from you is $10, donated through your Facebook account. The challenge ends on February 1 at noon PST.

Did you know that Love Without Boundaries provides Heart Ultrasounds to babies in orphanages, and then provides heart surgeries for those that need it. Katie was most likely one of the babies to get a heart ultrasound. They also sponser foster care. While Katie's foster care village/orphanage was not listed on the the ones that they support for foster care, other Yunnan orphanages are.

I don't mind that you lifted it. I actually lifted it from the Causes page, or from the Case Foundation. As long as the end justified the means.... :-)
