I am working on a visit for you in China with an NGO that works with orphans in China. This will help us better understand how non-profits work in China, their challenges and opportunities, and how they differ from their US counterparts.

If you are in such a disadvantaged class, China is one tough place to be. The chances of you making a decent life for yourself if you are an orphan or somehow disabled there are very, very low. I can’t at this point promise this NGO visit will work out, but will do what I can to push this along.

So a friend sent me this amazing and beautiful video, and it made me stop for just a moment, and think about children in places like China, America, Iraq, the Sudan, now Kenya, and the rest of the world who are in need in some way, shape or form.

The band, Five for Fighting, is generously donating $0.49 to Autism Speaks for *each time* this  VIDEO  is viewed. The funding goes toward research studies to help find a cure for autism. When you have a moment, please visit the link below to watch the video and pass it along to your friends and family. And as you watch it, turn up the music as loud as you can and let the words and their power hit you.

They are aiming for 10,000 hits, but hopefully we can help them to surpass this goal.

And this is apparently the real deal and and autism research gets money for each time viewed. Check it out.
