Vote for the Orphans

I saw this email and couldn't help but post it myself. What a great thing it would be if she could carry the torch along with 8 orphans. Don't know if China is up for that kind of publicity, but if they are, the olympics is so important to China it could change those orphans lives. Go give 'em your vote! Side note...when I voted for some reason it took 3 times to get the code to accept, so don't give up! Carey

Our volunteers in Wuhan had a great idea. It may be possible for some ofour Half the Sky children to carry the Olympic torch next year. I've entered a contest sponsored by the China Daily Newspaper and, if I can get enough votes from netizens all over the world, I may be able to have that honor. If it happens, I will run with 8 children from 8 orphanages in China. Believe me, I am no runner. But I would dearly love to give thechildren a place at the party.

Please take a moment and vote for me right now: http://pub1.chinadaily.com.cn/olympics/torch/members.shtml?mid=212

We need a LOT of votes. Please pass this on to your friends and family.

Thanks and love,

Jenny
