LOOK Care Packages Program

Originally, donors in the United States sent items to us for our Care Packages program, which we repackaged and mailed to China, or else we bought the items with donated funds and shipped the care packages - - However, the mailing/shipping costs for this approach were high and in 2008 we were thrilled to share the great news that thanks to some wonderful LOOK volunteers living in China as well as working with local nationals there, we were able to purchase, package and deliver care packages from within China.  With this approach, we were able to purchase items at bulk prices and reduce mailing costs significantly, and thus to bring joy to even more children!  We have also worked with another charity to deliver care-packages in a cost-effective manner.

The LOOK Care Package Program has now provided care packages to over 2,000 children growing up in Chinese orphanages since beginning the program in early 2005.

In 2006, our LOOK Shanghai Care Package program volunteers, who also volunteer with Love Without Boundaries charity (click on "Friends" of LOOK), also raised funds to provide over 2100 warm coats for the children growing up in orphanages all over China (see picture below).  By working together, we can make a difference!
