China Orphanage Donations

Ok I know this is a strange request and sorry if some of you think it is inappropriate, but I consider many of you my gypsy jazzer friends so there it is. As some of you know my wife and I are adopting our second child from China. My wife is leaving next week and I'm staying behind with number one. Anyway we are adopting from the Xiangtan Social Welfare Center in Hunan Province. Since we are the only parents adopting from this orphanage it is customary to seek donations for something the orphanage needs. The orphanage needs a new computer which will cost (to be bought in China) $800.00. Of couse we have emailed our familyand other friends and have raised about half but need a few more donations for it. We have asked for donations of $50.00. It's for a good cause, some of the girls there are teenagers and don't have access to computers for learning computer skills. We thought we'd try to help. So to tie this into gypsy jazz remember thay Saga and Dell Arte are having some very nice guitars made there! Sorry if you think this is out of line but I didn't know a faster way to contact my friends here, and my wife is heading to China next friday. Thanks everyone.
