The Giving Tree
















It’s the most wonderful time of the year - the Giving Tree gift giving ceremonies have begun! Volunteers and donors alike have been getting ready for this for months now. It is time to go to the migrant schools, hand out gift bags and watch the smiles abound! Without the community at large, Giving Tree would not have been able to reach 15,000 deserving migrant and orphaned children this year. Right now volunteers & donors are charging camera batteries and checking Google maps for directions, all in an effort to arrive at one of the 23 ceremonies held at migrant schools all over Shanghai and beyond.










What a wonderful experience to watch their faces while they open their bags! I wish it could be xmas everyday for these kids!
