Final stretch of the year!
Final stretch of the year!
We hope this late fall update finds you well.
We're happy to report that we've just completed our Cambodia 2009 Project and are preparing for the final push in our China and Ethiopia Projects. It is a wonderfully busy time of year.
As we approach the holiday season, we wanted to both share in some of our recent successes and updates as well as offer a great gift idea for family and friends.
Sincerely, Eric Stowe
Director, A Child's Right
Christmas Giving
The holidays are upon us meaning that the stress, uncertainty, and procrastination of gift buying are finally here! Although the Snuggy was last season's Cinderella story gift sensation, the potential for another last minute gem is low. So instead of high risk/reward gifts that have previously flopped, avoid previous season fiascoes such as the male Euro purse, Brittney Spears purity ring, or Hammer Pants Stock.
But you get the point. So instead of grabbing something random last minute, stock up with something that can make a child's life better. The renowned Laughing Moon Chocolate Company has started a program called Like Water for Chocolate in which each Laughing Moon Chocolate box sold donates $10 to A Child's Right.
Every deliciously decadent box is filled with over ½ pound of chocolate turtles and is peanut and gluten free! Even better, every box gives clean water to two children in need. Great investment, even better turnaround!

Cambodia Project
Our most recent project in Cambodia was a spectacular success. 20 sites serving more than 30,000 vulnerable children now have clean and safe water! We are very proud of our work there and invite you to see some of the innovative approaches we take as well as, and more importantly, the children we serve. Click on the photo above for more.
China Project
We are on schedule to complete more than 150 orphanage installations in 11 provinces throughout China by year's end. To share in the joy of this achievement we invite you to see a small sampling of the work we are undertaking in China.
We have a very long way to go, with more than 200 clean water systems going in to orphanages in southern China next year- and even more the following year. Fortunately, our team in China is amazing and the children provide continuous motivation to keep the workload heavy and pace high. Click on the photo above for more.
