Care Package

两个星期前，我们通过第三方将一个包裹寄给杭州儿童福利院，让他们把包裹转给小安娜的寄养父母。并写了一封信。我想小安娜应该已经收到这些东西。她一定会很高兴。

Two weeks ago we gathered a care package for Anna and sent it to her orphanage. We asked the orphanage to transfer the package to Anna’s foster parents. In the package, we bought some toys and clothes for Anna. We also included a letter and a photo album of our family. I think little Anna should have received the package by now and should be very happy to see it.
