BELOW IS OUR LITTLE METAL TRIBE MAN JIN XIN with heart-shaped eyes!!
How appropriate for his name which means “Heart of Gold”
FROM OUR ADOPTION COORDINATOR CARRIE AT PANDAS INTERNATIONAL
Last week the Panda Club sent me these pictures of Long Xin’s twins. They are so cute! You’ll probably have to lighten the second picture a bit before posting on your site. I’m not sure how much information you have on these twins so here is what I know. The cubs were born on July 21, 2008. The first cub is a male; he was 129g at birth. The second cub is a female and was 111.4g at birth. I’ll request an update on the babies but I wanted to get these photos to you.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Take care! Carrie
BELOW IS OUR LITTLE WOOD TRIBE GIRL XIAO HUA!!
I cracked up when I saw our sweet “Little Flower” with foliage stuck to her fur
It instantly brought to mind the adorable skunk in the movie Bambi named “Flower”
BELOW IS A LETTER FROM SUZANNE BRADEN AT PANDAS INTERNATIONAL WHICH WAS SENT TO ALL THE METAL AND WOOD TRIBE MEMBERS IN DECEMBER WHICH EXPLAINS THE CHANGE IN TWINS
Dear Tribe Members
The Cubs of Guo Guo were adopted for life, which is a large amount; by a Mr. Huang Xiaoming.
Mr. Huang Xiaoming is a Chinese TV actor and signer so I am very pleased he is giving generously to China’s National Treasure.
INFORMATION ABOUT MR. HUANG XIAOMING
However this in no way diminishes the adoptions of the four tribes!
All the cubs of 2008 desperately need to be adopted not just the cubs of Guo Guo
Guo Guo and Long Xin were evacuated from Wolong at the same time and both delivered twins (one male one female) in July
So Long Xin’s twins need you too!!
Thank you so very much, Suzanne and Carrie, for getting this cubbie switch coordinated so quickly. I can’t wait to get to China to see our babies in person!!! They are just adorable!!

A huge THANK YOU goes out to Jill Robinson/founder of AAF and Alice Ng, the US AAF representative for all the help you gave me and the photos you provided. They are truly appreciated by all of us!!
I will be sending the money for Mandela by January 26th…CHINESE NEW YEAR!!! I would also like to add some more Hung Bao /red envelopes to the stash I’m sending AAF for Mandela….take a peek at the previous blog entry for more info on Hung Bao for Mandela.

My huge apologies for the absence of blog posts this past week. My son and his new fiance came to town for a visit and then I got incredibly sick the past few days and just now have a bit of energy to catch up on posting. OMG, there is so much news and I’ll start for now with this as it is time sensitive. Tomorrow I’ll update about our moonbear I promise!!
Chinese New Year is fast approaching on January 26, 2008. One of the many wonderful traditions during this festive season is the giving of red envelopes or Hong Bao, filled with money or bills.
The recipient, as well as the giver of the envelope, is said to receive good luck for the coming year.
Please feel free to download the original size version and print and give these envelopes to your heart’s content. If you have a few dollars extra to spread around, the Moonbears at AAF would love a red envelope as well. I will be collecting the Red Envelopes through Pandarazzi and forwarding them to AAF ON FEBRUARY 14…VALENTINES DAY 2009. My goal is $600.00 so we can sponsor another moonbear to help with its expenses.
SEE THE MOONBEAR SIDEBAR ON THE BLOG TO FIND OUT MORE…DEADLINE IS FEBRUARY 14TH!!! CHOOSE YOUR AMOUNT FROM 10.00-200.00 AND CHECKOUT VIA PAYPAL
One suggested way of fundraising for the moonbears with these envelopes is to encourage schools and groups of children to participate. Anyone who can help in any way will be featured here on Pandarazzi!!!!! Contributors names are featured in the red sidebar in a fun little slideshow
