Half the Sky and their great work in China

This email was sent to me so i am pasing it along. During the fall, we want to inform as many people as possible about the great work that Half the Sky does in Yiyang and elsewhere in China. The HTS on-line auction is coming up soon. If you blog or have friends who do, it would be great to have links for the HTS website and the Yiyang website on more blogs or websites. http://www.yiyangfund.org/ This website is selling the greatest calenders. They are all photos of children from YiYang SWI and CWI. Genevieve is from the SWI She is actually in 4 different places in the calender. The calender is put together nicely and has 14 months in it. There is also an area of information about the city of YiYang. http://www.halfthesky.org/ Note that there is a link to the HTS website on the Donate page of yiyangfund.org. The HTS website has a link on the home page for voting for Jenny Bowen and some HTS children to be to carry the Olympic torch in 2008. See below for when she said about that in her recent e-newsletter. SENT BY JENNY BOWEN 29Sep07 to HTS Email List Our volunteers in Wuhan had a great idea. It may be possible for some of our Half the Sky children to carry the Olympic torch next year. I've entered a contest sponsored by the China Daily Newspaper and, if I can get enough votes from netizens all over the world, I may be able to have that honor. If it happens, I will run with 8 children from 8 orphanages in China. Believe me, I am no runner. But I would dearly love to give the children a place at the party. We need a LOT of votes. Please pass this on to your friends and family. Please take a moment and vote for me right now: http://pub1. chinadaily. com.cn/olympics/ torch/members. shtml?mid= 212
