YKI "Spring Pig" Auction is coming!

Yunnan Kids International is happy to announce our next auction scheduled for Monday, April 16th, 2007! Named "Spring Pig" to honor this auspicious Year of the Pig, we hope you will visit the auction daily and bid often on some wonderful items we are offering, including MANY items from China, and specifically, from our beloved Yunnan Province.

Happily, we will be donating the auction proceeds to Love Without Boundaries (LWB) for two exciting endeavors they are planning in Yunnan. The first is a physical therapy summer camp, scheduled for July 2007 in KUNMING! LWB has been asked to evaluate many children and they are hoping to send a minimum of four volunteer physical or occupational therapists to work in the camp. We will be helping to purchase therapy equipment for the children who need them. LWB likes to leave one piece of therapy equipment for each foster family as well, so that some of what is shared during the camp experience can be continued.

The second project is an exciting new foster care program in Yunnan. Details will be forthcoming as we learn of them from LWB. For example, where in Yunnan LWB will be asked to work. YKI wants to contribute to the start up costs for this new opportunity to help some kids who will benefit so much by being in the care of a loving family. More to come on this!

Happy Bidding to all!
