Recent Travels 
 
What a month! Several of our staff members made trips across the globe and returned with great pictures and information on the areas of greatest need. Please visit the orphanCare website for more information.

Rebecca recently made a trip to Haiti to help Gladys Thomas and the Foudation. During her trip she was able to learn more about Haiti's current and ongoing needs. Here are just some of the projects that need our help.
Julie traveled to Ethiopia with a couple of our adoptive families. While there she had the opportunity to visit the children's home in Addis Ababa and the new babies' home in Wolioso. She got several great pictures, including the one above of a child praying at the Addis Ababa home. To see more photos and learn how you can help click here. 
Dukkyung and Rosalyn went to Korea to finalize the details for the heritage tours this summer. While there they visited the orphanages, met with staff and escorted two children home. Visit the Korea page to learn more about the programs in Korea.

Monthly Feature
Peck family for feaure
Kimberly Peck is an adult adoptee and mom of two. She is always busy organizing Moms' Nights Out and playgroups in her area and is on the Korea Camp planning committee. 
Way to go Kimberly! 

"For me, being a part of Dillon International in whatever way I can is a 'no brainer!' I am an adult adoptee and when I became an adoptive parent through Dillon International--first to daughter Kira in 2004 and again in 2007 to son Spencer--it further fueled my desire to be active in the world of adoption.

My husband and I are proud to be associated with Dillon International and their work with orphans and children around the world, including those who won't be adopted.

In 2004 I became an Area Representative for the OKC area and in late 2005 I began working for Dillon as a contract home study provider. I enjoy speaking with families in the pre- and post-placement adoption meetings and working with them from home study to finalization as they grow their family through international adoption.  

Dillon offers wonderful pre- and post-adoption services especially their Heritage Camps. I have been honored to be involved with Korea Camp for the past several years. We consider the staff at Dillon to be a part of our extended family and look forward to our continuing contact with them as our children grow and mature." Kimberly Peck
