A great cause! Please consider learning more and donating!

Waking up to discover that our Indiegogo campaign is halfway to its 3-day challenge goal of $7000. If in the next two days — with your help — we can raise $3500 for Touching Home in China: In Search of Missing Girlhoods, a donor will give us $3000 ... taking us to $10,000.

Your support — whatever you can give — would mean so much to our ability to push this project ahead. To our early givers — each of you who contributed so we could have such a GREAT start in our Indiegogo campaign, Maya and I — along with our friend in the Xiaxi Town market who waved her such a warm welcome — say "THANK YOU!"

Hope you will take a look at our short Indiegogo video — on this link. And if you are moved to contribute, we'd be grateful for your support.
