I would just like to say a huge thank you to a few policemen who have given us some amazing help the last two days. We had two kids that we wanted for the documentary and through some grace from up above and a little perseverance we met an amazing policeman who guided us to the first village to get permission for one girl yesterday. He also made a phone call to one of his policeman friends and that guy took us to the other village in the mountains and received permission there today. So basically we have had police escorts the last two days vouching for us so that we have permission to film and help these kids.
I will reveal the two kids and their stories soon. The documentary has been amazing so far and full of all kinds of adventure. Please consider helping our kickstarter project by going here and pledging some money:

While David and I were waiting for the police and our team to come back today in the village, David made a friend:
I went and picked up David last night from the airport, his plane arrived around 1 am, and then we immediately headed to my house where he’s crashing for a few nights and launched our kickstarter. Went to bed around 3am and got up at 8am this morning to get Abby some breakfast.
Today we made some huge steps in documentary planning. We have decided to attempt to take two of the kids (instead of only one) we have found and develop their stories.
I really enjoy working with David, the word that comes to mind is synergy. He is a great leader and really allows people to take a part in his vision of seeing orphans and poor kids have a better life in China.
Tomorrow is a “befriend the government” day. We need official letters from a few government departments to show to the villages where these kids live so they can come to camp. It’s all about grace in these situations.
You guys, we have the coolest kickstarter thing going on right now, please join it if you like what we are doing!
