Announcing YKI's "Thankful Families" Auction!

Some minority children in rural Yunnan

It is a time of year when in some countries, emphasis is put on giving thanks in our family traditions. We thought that it was a great theme as well for our Yunnan Kids International autumn auction. You can find the wonderful items we have for auction at the following link after November 5 at 10:00 a.m. Pacific Standard Time (that's 1:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time).

We are very excited by some unique items we have to offer, including many from Yunnan, carried back by our very own Yunnan girl, 14 year old Fang Lee last summer (and she did all the shopping!). Please keep in mind that all money raised will go toward several projects to help children in Yunnan. Our current projects include helping to build a playground for children in the Mengzi Orphanage in Southeastern Yunnan, and helping some older girls with tuition and school fees in very rural areas in Yunnan. Details and pictures to follow!

Visit the auction often and happy bidding!!

"Xie Xie" = thank you in Chinese characters
