  THANK YOU, GOOD, FOR BEING SO GREAT!

  I can't wait to tell Dr. Huang, the founder of the Bolivian Street Children Project, about this. I can't wait to hear what the children said, did, thought.... I can hardly express myself right now... I am so happy for the Bolivian children who are receiving a care package from GOOD! You guys are awesome! You rock. These kids don't know you, or me for that matter, but I can guarantee that you have made a difference in their lives by sending them this package that tells them that someone cares and that we know they exist and whether they sing, laugh, play, shout and specially if they cry, they are not invisible to us! I hope that more and more, people will become aware of them and other children from the streets and make an effort to make a difference. This is really GOOD and not only that, I think it's GREAT!!!!!
  Thanks a ton. =)

  "When Invisible Children Sing"

  What where your favorite toys when you were a kid? Try to remember the most simple ones that you had the most fun with. Playdough, a jumprope, jacks? Did you play an instrument? The guitar, flute, drums perhaps? If you are reading this it is safe to say that as a child you had your share of fun and at least a handful of toys. You didn't think about where you were going to sleep at night or where your next meal would come from or if it would come at all? I hope that someone took care of you and showed you affection. My heart goes out to those children who aren't so fortunate and live on the streets all over the world, but more specifically those of the streets in Bolivia. I have seen their sad eyes, torn and dirty clothes, numbed hearts. I know, too, that to many people they are invisible and some wish they actually were because they see them as a nuance. 1 out 1100 children in Bolivia live on the streets, day and night, sleeping in sewars, tree branches, wherever they can. Thanks to Dr. Chi Huang, a doctor from Harvard Medical School, many of these children are leaving the streets, getting an education and most importantly, recuperating their dignity and human rights. The title of this email is the title of the book written by Dr. Huang about the Bolivian Street Children. Please send them a box with things that tell them that we do see them. That they deserve to be seen and to sing, laugh, learn, play and be loved. Check out the website www.bolivianstreetchildren.org for more info. They need many things so almost anything that goes in the box will be welcomed.
  Here's my list of what to include in their box. If you read this and think of anything else that can go along, please add it and please know that just like you when you were a child, these children deserve to be seen.

  crayons, coloring books, jumpropes, soccer ball, basketball, volleyball, dolls, playdough, cotton, q-tips, t-shirts all sizes and most of all TLC, lots of it!!!!

  The Foundation has offices here in the United States:
  Bolivian Street Children Project
  PO Box 990579
  Boston, MA 02199

  or if you want to send it directly to Bolivia, the address is:
  Fundacion Bernabe
  Casilla 3-34985 SM
  La Paz, Bolivia

  Just, PLEASE, send it! Thank you, thank you. For all the children I thank you!
