Chinese New Year Red Envelope Campaign

Chinese New Year, which begins on January 23rd this year, is the most important of the traditional Chinese holidays. Families clean their homes to sweep away bad luck, decorate windows and doors with red colored couplets, feast with family members on the eve of Chinese New Year, and end the night with firecrackers. Early on New Year's Day children will don new outfits and receive money in red paper envelopes. But there are many children in China without families to celebrate with them. This year, to honor those children, Love Without Boundaries is running a special campaign for the children in our Believe in Me Huainan School. Won't you join us in giving a New Year's gift to an orphan?

Our Believe in Me schools were designed to provide the joy of education to children in orphanages who would otherwise be unable to attend school. While the children delight in learning and expanding their horizons in these schools, the sad reality is that many of the children are hungry. This orphanage is a rural facility with very meager resources. LWB has made a commitment to these children to help them with better nutrition.

Our Huainan School Nutrition Project is designed to provide the 75 students, ages 2-16, at the Believe in Me Huainan School with much needed protein, which they rarely get. For less than $1 a snack, the children receive a fresh or dried protein snack, as well as fruit and milk. It may sound like a bargain, but over the course of a month this expense comes close to $1,000!

We would like to ask for your assistance to help us continue providing essential nutrition to these wonderful children. We are asking all our supporters to give the gift of a red envelope to an orphan in China this Chinese New Year. Simply put $1 in an envelope and mail it to:

Millie wants to remind everyone that the number 8 is considered the luckiest number. If you are feeling particularly lucky, your donation of $8 would go even further in helping fill the tummies of the Huainan students.

Please include your name and email address with your donation if you would like to receive a tax receipt letter.

If you prefer, you are welcome to make your online donation here.

Thank you on behalf of the students at our Believe in Me Huainan School for remembering them this Chinese New Year.
