Sounds wonderful, doesn't it? "Envelopes of Love" is a project founded by a friend of mine. The aim of the project is to provide support to children affected by the devastating earthquake in Sichuan, China. You can help! And no, she doesn't want your money!
For me at least, the earthquake seems like a lifetime ago. Even though I was in China when it happened, and have seen many days of footage of the devastation the earthquake caused, and even wrote a little about it in this blog, life goes on and I have forgotten about it all. However, for those affected by the earthquake, life will never be the same.Many children lost their lives. Many children who survived found that they have lost everything – their parents, their homes. What makes it even more tragic is that the earthquake struck when the children were at school, and many school building collapsed. Many children did not survive.
The "Envelopes of Love" Project aims to support the children who survived, to show them that there are friends who do care for them and their happiness. All that is asked of us is to send a message of support to the children. Guidelines include:
1. The message should be uplifting, and not remind the recipients of
the pain.
2. Refrain from any religious expressions.
3. Use more drawings and colors than words because the students are
young - from 8 to 14 years old.
4. Don't include any contact details in case some people may decide to
ask for money donation.
The project committee members will send the cards to the children once a month.
