Project started when
we wanted to to buy 50 baby bouncers for our daughters'
orphanages. Baby bouncers are made in China, but they are all
exported and are not available for purchase in China. With the
help of Sherry's Place we were
able to contact the factory. Baby bouncers could
be purchased for $10 a piece including shipping, but we had to purchase
a minimum of 200. Project Tigger was born... working together
with Love Without
Boundaries money was raised and two weeks later an order was placed
for 500 baby bouncers that were shipped to 26 different
orphanages! China Charity Federation helped distribute the
majority of the baby bouncers to some of the poorest orphanages in
China. Of the 500 baby
bouncers, 50 of them were shipped to Sherry's place for distribution to
several orphanages in the Guangdong province. The bouncers arrived at
Sherry's the day before we arrived. The cartons were loaded into
the van and started on the way to the orphanages. A big "thank
you" goes to Sherry for arranging and PAYING FOR the shipping of these
50 bouncers!! What a blessing she is!!
By the time we arrived in Shantou a few days later, the bouncers had
already arrived. It is wonderful for the orphanages to have a way
to get the babies out of the cribs to play and have more
stimulation. The bouncers are also able to be used as chairs
during feeding time.
Project Tigger continues...we will continue in partnership with Love
Without Boundaries to purchase baby bouncers for distribution as we
raise enough funds for another order. For each $10 you contribute
a baby bouncer can be purchased. Make your check out to "Angel
Covers" or donate online. All donations are tax deductible.
We are also expanding Project Tigger to include sending baby bouncers
to Eastern Europe! Because the cost of shipping the bouncers to Eastern Europe is
much higher, the cost per bouncer is also higher. For each $20
you contribute, a baby bouncer can be purchased and shipped to an
orphanage in Eastern Europe. Make your check out to "Angel Covers" or
donate online. All donations are tax deductible.
