The LOOK Project began in late 2004 when a group of adoptive parents and friends wanted to do something for the older children who are growing up in Chinese orphanages.  Many of these parents just couldn't forget about the children left behind at the SWIs when they were blessed with the opportunity to bring their own Chinese sons and daughters home.  The original goal of LOOK was to send "care packages" to encourage the children by letting them know there are people half a world away who are thinking of them.  As the project grew, however, so did our desire to expand the mission of LOOK to also include direct support for the broader needs of the children.

In 2006, The LOOK Project was able to achieve this, through a sponsorship from Chinese Children Adoption International (CCAI).  The work of LOOK has became an important part of their larger charity outreach efforts.  And CCAI's experience in helping Chinese orphans for the past 15 years, and its in-China Charity Team and representative system, are now helping to ensure the maximum impact of our efforts.
