Peam Yang

Today, I want to tell you all about my friend Peam. Peam lives in China, and she sends me notes about every week or so. Here is a picture of her. Isn’t she pretty?


She is the same age as me, 12, and is in the sixth grade.
Here’s another picture of her playing the flute. Daddy plays the flute, too!


This symbol is Chinese for Side-Blown, which is how you play a flute!

Daddy knows David Bolt who is Executive Director of an organisation called Bring Me Hope. They have camps and sponsors in China to help children. Peam has been to the camp with David and his family, and one of the sponsors there helps translate the letters from English to Chinese. Her name is Emma!

Bring me hope was started by David’s dad, Steve. Steve was there on business, and eventually he and his wife adopted a little girl from China. When he got home he started thinking of other ways he could help, and that lead to Bring Me Hope. The whole Bolt family works for the organisation! This is really one cool, group. Our friends, the Ballantyne’s have a daughter who knows David, too. You can read all about this cool circle of events at their CaringBridge site.


Okay….that’s all for today. Dont forget to check out the Bring Me Hope web site at www.BringMeHope.org! Dont miss this video! If Steve doesn't bring a tear to your eye at the end of the video, you must be made of stone!!!
