Buffettnews reports that St Jimmy will perform a one-night only charity show in Hong Kong in January 2008.

The concert will benefit the Foreign Correspondents’ Club Language Training Centre that teaches English and Mandarin to 300 children aged 2 to 18 who are in residential care at the Po Leung Kuk Orphanage.

For whatever reason… I was on the Hooter's website and noticed that they are opening their FOURTH location in the People's Republic of China. Good to know that — when we finally get the call to go to China — that we will be able to enjoy beer & chicken wings.

Hey… when in China….

Children's advocacy group A Child's Right will be headed to China in May to work with the state run China Center of Adoption Affairs on a project to install water purification systems at nine orphanages.

Once installed, each water system will make 360 gallons of clean water per hour, 24/7/365. With the water system, each orphanage will receive five years worth of spare parts, supplies, and water testing kits.

If you're looking for a great outreach project, please consider A Child's Right's China Water program and their efforts to provide clean water to 3,000+ children.

One of the wonderful aspects of adopting internationally is discovering a whole new culture. For us - this is our first Chinese New Year.

While we don't exactly have all the traditions just right yet, we were together (reunion) and celebrated with fireworks. Today, Merrin's wearing red and we made a stop at the alter of St Jimmy. Not a bad start for first timers!

Happy New Year!

Merrin and I went to celebrate Chinese New Year today in Fort Worth with the Gladney families. It was a really incredible experience.

In honor of Chinese New Year, I've updated my blog header with a re-touched shot from our last trip together to San Francisco.
