PLEASE VOTE: Half the Sky and 8 Chinese orphans may carry Olympic Torch

Dear friends and family,

The organization, Half the Sky, is a wonderful organization that was founded by adoptive parents of Chinese Children. They currently are in many orphanages in China training the caretakers in early childhood development.

All this e-mail is asking us to do is to vote so the founder, Jenny Bowen, and eight of the children can carry the Olympic Torch!! Please take a moment to vote.

Mia is an example of the good work, Half the Sky and their staff provide these children. If you get a chance, visit their website and read about them. It is amazing what they have done and now have been asked to do by the Chinese government!!

Here is Jenny Bowen's request:


Hello again,

Our volunteers in Wuhan had a great idea. It may be possible for some of

our Half the Sky children to carry the Olympic torch next year. I've

entered a contest sponsored by the China Daily Newspaper and, if I can get

enough votes from citizens all over the world, I may be able to have that

honor. If it happens, I will run with 8 children from 8 orphanages in

China. Believe me, I am no runner. But I would dearly love to give the

children a place at the party.

I think this will take you straight to me:

We need a LOT of votes. Please pass this on to your friends and family.

Thanks and love,

Jenny
