Financial - Any financial contributions of any amount is welcome. In the short-term, please transfer any donations to your FIA friend's account and they will take out the equivalent RMB. In the long-term, the BICF will provide us with a bank account so stay tuned for more details 2. Teaching - English / computer / music / Chinese literature teachers are all wanted and needed. NO EXPERIENCE NECESSARY. Just a love for children.3. Other Volunteer Work - The school always needs people to help out. You can volunteer a few hours a week to go and help clean the place, play with the kids, assist with other chores, etc. This will take some of the burden off the 4 full time staff there. 4. Committees - There are several areas of volunteering that we are looking for people to join and take ownership of. These are primarily: Food/diet, Education, Fundraising/Publicity and Finance. You can join any of these committees to bring your ideas and expertise to the table. Time commitment may be a meeting once a month or just over email/phone. 5. Prayer - pr-y for the FIA team's wisdom and G-d's direction, people coming to orphanage, raising awareness, hard cash and help with fund raising projects!6. Spread the word - Feel free to let your friends/contacts know about this cause if you think they may have an interest in participating in some way. text/html 2007-02-22T19:19:45+01:00 http://twocoppercoins.org/bingbing http://twocoppercoins.org/bingbing/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=16&Itemid=9 Dear All, We invited Bingbing and family to New Year lunch yesterday and seeing with our own eyes the progress made was both heart rendering and humbling. I felt a huge sense of relief knowing that the family's persistence over the past eight years was not in vain. At the same time, I was overwhelmingly thankful to G for his grace and mercy. text/html 2006-12-29T19:38:04+01:00 http://twocoppercoins.org/bingbing http://twocoppercoins.org/bingbing/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=15&Itemid=9 Hi Friends, I am writing you a BingBing update on behalf of Molly. She informed me that Bingbing is now able to feed herself with a spoon and has eaten some items, like a fried doughnut 油条“ by herself.
