Future of Scrolls From China





Even though Scrolls From China is really just in its infancy of growth - Kenny and I are planning on beginning a foundation within the next several months. The purpose of the foundation will be to give training and employment to older orphans as they have to leave their respective orphanages at the age of 16. Having a job is paramont to life. Ever been unemployed for a while during your life? I was - and it isn't a good feeling.

We will begin forming the name, 501(c)3 process and completing the necessary steps to establishing this foundation. All dontaions will be tax exempt. Scrolls From China will begin giving monies from the purchases of all art pieces to the creation of this foundation plus individual money given to each of the artists.

I implore you to see if there is any way that you can contribute to this new beginning. Please consider and be in prayer regarding how you might be able to help. When all of the details are in place I will send out an email with more specifics.

Kenny has a gregarious personality and his parents and both siblings are all doctors and know many business leaders in China. They are helping him kick start the foundation with money from their personal savings accounts. Kenny is a Christian and does his work due to a desire to help orphans. When he was younger his parents had him in orphanages as they traveled around the country serving communist China - for doctors were needed to travel around the country where they were directed by the government during this time. Kenny laughs that he is the shortest person in his family because he ate food from orphanages as he was growing. He is now 34.

I would also encourage you to pray for Kenny. He is an amazing man. He also desires to find a wife but it is difficult in his line of work. A woman would have to be very sacrificial to be with him. He dated a woman for many years but she broke it off five years ago because she couldn't stay in China and he didn't want to move to France.

Kenny I know that you are reading this - we give you our prayers and our hearts.

Guangzhou is near Hong Kong, bottom right corner. Dianbai is just below the "M" in Macau (which is south of Guangzhou).
