Today I met with Morag from our Chinese friendship group to plan our new program, Shou La Shou, which means Hand In Hand. Our association will sponsor a new program to link families who have adopted Chinese children with volunteers from the UofC Chinese Scholars & Students Association. So far we have 7 families and 12 kids from 3-14 interested. A volunteer student will spend an hour a month with their special child. It is a first in Canada that we know of, and we are looking forward to a reception in February to kick off the program. (right: Anna 17 and some of the other new Canadians.)
