About joining a Half the Sky Work Crew in China
FOUR STARS - FOUR YEARS IN A ROW!
From Charity Navigator: "We are proud to announce Half the Sky Foundation has earned our fourth consecutive 4-star rating for its ability to
efficiently manage and grow its finances. Only 8% of the charities we rate have received at least 4 consecutive 4-star evaluations, indicating that Half the Sky Foundation consistently executes its mission in a fiscally responsible way, and outperforms most other charities in America. This “exceptional” designation from Charity Navigator differentiates Half the Sky Foundation from its peers and demonstrates to the public it is worthy of their trust."

Last summer, Half the Sky received extraordinary, one-time permission from the China Center for Adoption Affairs to help find "forever families" for three special little girls with heart conditions too complex to be treated in China. We are thrilled to report that all three of the girls, LiuFang, CaiPing and ZiJun, have now found their true homes.. Here are the heartwarming first reports from their proud parents:
Teresa Caroline Bartlinski (LiuFang)
Teresa is absolutely adorable. As soon as she saw us come into the China Care Home she ran up and gave me and Ed a big hug and kiss saying “My Momma, my Baba." Then she went to all of her little friends saying, “I have a Momma and a Baba.” Then she ran to the closet to show us the box of goodies we had sent her. Her nanny told us when she opened the box last month she was so excited to see "her family" and that she was going to go "Home" with us. It was amazing to see how she so desperately wanted a family.
Teresa’s transition to our family has been so easy--she is our fifth adoption and hers has been by far the easiest. She loves her new sisters>>>
Our intrepid high school fundraisers, Peter and Vivian Li, have come up with yet another creative way to raise money for orphaned children—a cookbook...
