The LOOK Project began in late 2004 when a group of adoptive parents and friends wanted to do something for the many older children who are growing up in Chinese orphanages with little chance of ever being adopted.  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 simply 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.  This goal has been met since 2006 via sponsorship by Chinese Children Adoption International, as well as collaborations with other charities.  Since that time, LOOK has raised the funds to purchase items needed by the children in the areas of Medical/Physical Needs, Educational/Training Needs, and Social/Emotional Needs (see "Completed" page).  These items have included wheelchairs and hearing aids, bedding and clothes/shoes, school supplies and college education scholarships, and much more, across 17 orphanages in many provinces across China.  LOOK Project also has continued to send Care Packages to the children - - to date, individual gift bags/boxes have been sent to more than 2000 children across 24 orphanages.
