15-year old orphaned girl

Yesterday the policemen took us to another village up the mountain called “Second Village”. We met a family with a beautiful old deaf grandma and her granddaughter who has lost both her parents. How cool would it be if there were college students inspired enough to go out and seek these kids out to help them with whatever needs they might have. Really, this is our hope.  — http://kck.st/9aS1y8

Synergy and the documentary.

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!

The Beautiful Mountains of Kunming

Today is our last official day of searching so we headed into the mountains and the first village we came to told us of another village down the road that was very poor.

After this our day turned into something straight out of a movie (pretty good since we are trying to make a movie;)

Here’s a video of some of the aftermath:
