How wonderful that we are making a difference in this child's life! :happy2: Welcome to the Coldplaying family, Zali!

yeah... he's the coldplaying child.. how cute

aw wow!!!!!! please post more information on him when you get it!! great job!

Since Nadia put in all her information, she'll be getting the first "kit" in about 2 weeks, or at least that's what they said innitially. I hope it's sooner though!!

 

 

:nice:

This so exciting!!!! As CP music makes me feel good everyday, so does this amazing accomplishment of helping a child in need. I know that everyone in that region of Africa is struggling to survive, so much that it is hard to imagine what everyday life is like there...This is what makes me proud to be a part CCC!!! Cheers to us! :2thumbsup:

oh wow..

HI ZALI!!

 

 

 

 

i just cried :bigcry:

ahhhh

 

that's so freaking coooolll

 

hello zali! hehe

Eeeee, I can't wait to get our "welcome kit." :D You can be sure that as soon as I do, I'll scan in everything for all to see!!

OMG this is so cool

nice to meet Zali from Mali :D

hes gorgues .... awsome

I still cant believe we did this! Its great! I hope we really make a difference in the kids life.

I put this in the other thread, but here goes again...

someone mentioned about how beautiful the ending on Politik was and I was thinking about that. "Oh give me love over this"

So when we get the address, maybe we can send him a music player with Coldplay music, (with a years supply of batteries, of course). Even if he doesn't speak English, I think they speak French, so anyway he can listen to the beautiful music. Can you see him playing Coldplay music with his friends? Oh, and some Coldplaying Charity Club T-shirts too! :)

Wow, you read our minds! Nadia, Allie, Vic and I actually discussed this in one of our chats, right after we adopted him! We said the same thing, that maybe we could try sending all our CDs and a battery powered CD player to him. :) As we get more involved in this I'm sure we'll come to realize what we can and can't do realistically, but hopefully that's one of the options we CAN do!!
