From: "Jenny Bowen" Date: Thu Nov 1, 2007 9:19:00 PM US/Eastern Subject: We did it!!!!! To all of our dear, dear friends of Half the Sky - YOU made it happen! This week in Beijing we got some wonderful news. Thanks to the concerted efforts of our most extraordinary HTS family, I am going to carry the Olympic Torch in Beijing!! http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/olympics/2007-11/02/content_6224493.htm http://pub1.chinadaily.com.cn/cdpdf/olym/ http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/olympics/torch_page.html I do not yet know if I will be permitted to run with the children. That will be up to the Olympic Committee. But you can be sure of one thing: Whether or not I am allowed to run WITH the children, the world will know that I am running FOR them. Thank you, everyone, for helping to share the Olympic spirit with China’s orphans. I know that those children who are old enough to understand will be so proud that they have a place in China’s grand celebration. With love and thanks beyond measure, Jenny Jenny Bowen Executive Director Half the Sky Foundation www.halfthesky.org
