Day 1, Sunday am 11am update

Well, we're here safely, and it's wonderful to be back in this beautiful city again. Dir. Su, Ms. Yi, and Elsa were waiting for us at the airport and welcomed us so warmly. They gave us the opportunity to tale the rest of the day to rest, for which we were so grateful. We met as a team to tentatively plan our Monday, and Vickie and I are again amazed at the wonderful people who have joined us to give of their talents. These are some amazing women, and I can't wait to see how many lives are changed because of their generosity. Thanks for following us, and thanks to Mike Mahathy for updating the blog for us!

So excited to see you all there! My daughter, Liwei, is at Zhanjiang. She is 10 y.o. We received TA today and should be traveling in 2-3 weeks to finally bring her home.

If you happen to meet her, please give her a hug from her mommy and daddy and tell her we will be there VERY soon!

Take care,
Dawn
