[quote=ROGERINCA ,23131]Mermaid, your thoughts are very good here !!I have been involved in similar efforts in my local community for over 30 years now, and have adopted and raised, since infancy, three 'special-needs children', in addition to my natural child. Now, I am especially interested in the children of China.I think all who are frequent visitors to China, should engage is some sort of assistance or volunteerism, such as this. I am also working through a local civic Service Club, in my community to seek assistance to develop a program directed at China. I am in line, however, as there is so much need in the world and so many requests in queue.I am in the process of facilitating this type of work, on my own,in the Guangzhou/Huadu region, where I most frequently travel to, and have family and friends. There are hospitals and orphanages and schools, all with (hands-on) needs to be filled in one way or another. On my last trip, I spent time at a hospital and a local school, reading to young children from English language children’s books. They were all so eager to practice their English skills and try them out on a westerner.I do not drink, and am not a [party-on] kind of guy, so these expenses come from other aspects of my family budget, not "one less beer". Truth be known, I am just a boring, go to work each day, single dad, family kind'a guy, who just happens to also love China !! With three active, younger children still under my roof, and loyalty for only one woman in my life, I will have to leave the partying for others with more flexible schedules and less demands, to enjoy !! :) :)PS: Don't worry California, you will still get your Kings shirt !!! :) :) [/quote]
