Changde Homecoming

July 7 – July 15

This is a special year for Changde orphanage. An invitation is warmly extended from Changde Children Welfare Institute (CWI) to a homeland reunion activity jointly held by Bridge of Love Adoption Service (BLAS) and Changde CWI in July of the year 2010 to celebrate the 60^th anniversary of the founding of Changde CWI. The celebration is to have a special focus on children who have been adopted from Changde. It is hoped that, through this activity, your children will get closer to their first home – Changde CWI, get more familiar with their hometown – Changde’s local culture and Chinese tradition.

The activity includes a visit of the matching room at CCAA in Beijing, the culture classes at BLAS, a tour to the Great Wall and the Temple of Heaven. Then fly to Changde where you will stay for about four days. The party in Changde will include a grand welcome ceremony for your children, a visit to the orphanage to learn about its development, meet caregivers, play with the kids in the orphanage, a taste of the local food and a tour to some scenic spots around the city. This is planned to be a special celebration for your children.
