Small Feature on Local News Site

Although this video is in Chinese, perhaps it can give you a feel for aspects of our life in Changsha. We hope that for local Chinese viewers it will serve to raise awareness and advocate for our local children in need of families.



(How did this come about? It was a friend who recommended our story to her friend, a reporter. Why do I resemble a zombie? As I recall, it had been a long day and I fulfilled the evening interview somewhat begrudgingly.)

  1. That was so cute! My dog especially loved the squeaky toy sound effects :)

    I think i caught about 1% of that. About where you have gone and the number song at the end. :)

    I love the colors in your apartment and have been meaning to ask about your beautiful silk wall hanging for quite some time and if it has a story.

    Hope to see you soon. -jen W
