Chelsea's Help International

Introducing: Chelsea’s Help International – Helping Orphans in China We had fun playing with the kids at the Zhongshan Childrens Welfare Institute (ZCWI). The ZCWI is one of 56 orphanages in the province of Guangdong . The ZCWI is home to over 300 children. We wanted to do something for the place that gave Chelsea a home for the first 2 years of her life. We plan to send shipments over a couple of times a year. We want to start by sending soccer balls to our friends at the ZCWI. If you would like to help, send your contributions to: CHI PO BOX 2633 Ruston, LA 71272. We would like to send by April 1, 2013. Thanks for sharing.

This morning, Chelsea, Cayden and I stayed at the hotel while Neal, Graham and Nanny went on a tour of a garden with our group. Here are some pics Neal took:



This is our guide, Kelly, and her daughter, Katie. The schools started their 5 week winter break today so she was able to go with her mom. Such a pretty girl (9 yrs old) and Kelly is so nice and helpful.




















Cayden, Chelsea and I stayed at the hotel and went for a walk down my favorite cut-thru:).



Pick your chicken, butchered on the spot or choose chicken laying out on a table.

Reminder that it's time to sell some real estate when I get home:



Chelsea only lets me push her stroller, but today we got away with big brother pushing. He was so proud.


This afternoon, everyone stayed at the hotel and rested (even Graham napped) while i went back to Shai Man Island for shopping. I got TONS of loot for $200, including $55 for 6 pairs of squeakie shoes. Before we went we walked through a herbal market and pet market:
