What a fabulous idea!

Remember when....
you slid down that slide? you played in that sand box? you swung from those monkey bars? you flew high, high, and higher in the sky on that wonderful swing? probably not - but in all likelihood it was a big part of your life growing up, learning to share, learning to exercise, learning hand and eye and foot and other skills. and learning to just have FUN.

Right now, the children living in the orphanages supported by Dillon International in Vietnam don't have playgrounds. That's because these kids and these orphanages need so much, just to meet those very basic needs -- food and clothing and education. There's just not enough humanitarian aid to solve for that other need - outdoor fun!

Luckily, another Dillon-adopting-parent, Meredith, along with her mom, are working to solve that challenge. Only $1,500 can build a fabulous playground for these kids who most likely have never actually seen a slide, let alone slid down one. $7,500 in total puts a playground into each one of the orphanages sponsored by Dillon. Visit Meredith's blog to learn more (www.lawyerish.com).

(Please note that if you're an adoptive parent currently in process with Dillon International, neither you nor your immediate family can give money -- but your extended family, friends and coworkers can!)
