What is a 8 year old girl’s wish?
一個八歲小女孩的願望：
六歲女孩的希望是什麼? 美麗的蓬蓬裙還是開心的遊樂園之旅?
今年六歲的台灣小女孩JIAXIN，飄洋過海從小被一戶加拿大家庭收養。去年十一月，JIAXIN的養父在一次機會中用電子郵電聯絡給我，希望我幫他實現JIAXIN的願望。因為JIAXIN在加拿大之前從來沒有慶祝過聖誕節，所以慷慨又熱心腸的JIAXIN希望能把耶誕節的歡騰及溫暖感染給每個人。

去年我們了實現她的願望，並且轉交JIAXIN準備的禮物和日常所需品（例如：食物，毛巾，夾克等。 ）給需要的孩子們。由於聖誕節的意義不只是送禮物，更重要的是大家一起過聖誕節。因此，今年我們策劃了一個焦糖蘋果工作坊和還子一起歡度聖誕。

JiaXin is a generous warmhearted little girl who was adopted from Taiwan and is now living in Canada. By a “chance” email back in November JiaXin’s father contacted me and asked me to fulfill a wish for his little 8 year old girl.
Believing she never celebrated Christmas when she was in Taiwan, she wanted to be able to provide gifts to those who would benefit the most from a little warmth during the festive season.
Last year we were able to fulfill her wish via delivery of needed items (food, blankets, jackets) and gifts to the children. Since Christmas is not about material things, but also about spending time together, last year we created a small Christmas vegan cupcake workshop to spend time with the kids. This year we’re looking at making some delicious caramel apples.
We are looking for your support and donation to make this dream come true again for 2013! We hope to include more children throughout Taiwan. Last year $1000 Canadian Dollars was raised – we hope to raise $1,500 this year.
From abroad you can at https://www.youcaring.com/other/jia-xin-s-toys-for-taiwan/99969 or in Taiwan let us know the amount brightside.tw@gmail.com and check here for bank details: https://brightside.tw/get-involved/benefactor/
We also need volunteers during this period and on the 21st ! Anyone up to dress like Santa Claus?
