is the Alliance for Children?
The Alliance for Children, Inc. is a non-profit
international adoption agency based in Massachusetts,
serving families throughout the USA. We have
placed thousands of children from around the
world in permanent adoptive homes. We are committed
to assisting needy children both through the
location of adoptive families, and through financial
contributions and donations of new clothing,
supplies, and medicines.

Mourning
for the Victims of the China Earthquake |
We, the Alliance
for Children staff and Alliance families
are mourning for the victims of the recent
China earthquake and want to help. In
any disaster, children are always the
most vulnerable ones. We will direct our
support to the Social Welfare Institutes
(orphanages) that were destroyed or severely
damaged and to the orphan survivors and
the children who were tragically made
into orphans by this earthquake. Because
of this focus, the best way for us to
send our help is to go through the aid
program run by the China Center of Adoption
Affairs (CCAA). Please visit our China
Earthquake Aid page on the Alliance
For Children Foundation web site for full
details on how you can donate to this
cause, and thank you for helping us support
needy orphans in China.

Foundation
Dec. 1, 2007 - Wuzhou P & G Sunbeam Village
Opened!
On December 1st, 2007, a new foster care "village"
opened in Wuzhou, China. This project provides
apartments for Chinese foster parents to live
with groups of 5 orphans (most of whom have
special needs) as stable families. It is modeled
after the very successful Sunbeam Village project
in Hefei that has been supported by the AFC
Foundation for 5+ years, and was made possible
by a generous $50,000 donation from Proctor
& Gamble’s Live, Learn and Thrive
Global Cause. Visit our Wuzhou
P & G Sunbeam Village project page to
see photos of the new families and to read the
first inspiring report on how these orphans,
previously institutionalized, are now thriving
in their new family setting.
Purchase a car and
support the Foundation!
As a proud supporter of the Alliance for Children,
Ray Ciccolo will donate $250 to the Alliance
for every car you purchase, or for any person
you refer to one of his Village Automotive dealerships.
