Sharing the News!

It was over a week that I was contacted with the news that I would be able to participate as a finalist in the Ford Focus Contest that I entered in November. There are 2 really great things about winning this! Ford will be giving $10,000 to Love Without Boundaries for baby formula and it will be helping some of the nutrition programs we have. What great news for cuties like these! These two kids are in the Nutrition program at Huainan, Anhui where we need some funding, so this will be great! Since I heard today that approval was given for the charity, Love Without Boundaries, I shared the news publicly.


Here is my video that I made for the contest if you haven't seen it. See Below, or at this link:

The second thing is I am going to Spain! I have never been to Spain-never been to Europe and now Darrell and I will be leaving in about 2 weeks to go to Spain. The 40 winners will get to test drive a 2012 Ford Focus. I read on the site that they come in 8 colors. I have driven a lot of white cars in my life and I really hope it is not white (that is one of the possibilities)...hmmm maybe Kona Blue would be nice.

I admit I am pretty excited about the trip and the award

Focus on Love Without Boundaries

In November, 2010 I heard about the Ford Focus Contest and decided to enter it. The assignment was to make a video explaining what I would do with $10,000 to "Start Something More" for my favority Charity, which is Love Without Boundaries. (www.lovewithoutboundaries.com) This Charity helps orphaned children in China. I am the Nutrition and Orphanage Assistance Director for this foundation. With the $10,000 I said I would provide formula for babies orphaned babies in China.

With no filming experience, I put together a 2 minute film and submitted it to Ford as part of the contest. All submissions were due by Dec. 31, but mine was submitted in November. During the ensuing weeks, people went to the Ford Facebook page to view and "LOVE" the videos.

On January 25, 2011, I was extended an invitation to be one of the 40 finalists in the contest. That means that Love Without Boundaries will receive $10,000 for formula for children in China and I will be attending the Global Test Drive in Madrid, Spain in about 3 weeks, along with my personal travelling companion and husband, Darrell. There, I will test drive a new Ford Focus and learn more about the Program that I will be participating in for the next few months. What an exciting prospect...to receive such a wonderful donation for LWB and to travel to somewhere I have never been. Stay tuned for more exciting information news!
