ABC News affiliate KMGH 7 News in Denver surprised Linda Webster on April 10 with a 7 Everyday Hero Award for her more than twelve years of volunteer service for Chinese Children Adoption International. Surrounded by CCAI staff and adoptive families, Linda tearfully told the 7 News crew, “This is incredible!”
Linda started to volunteer at CCAI in 1995. Twice a week she serves many departments by making packets and pasting children’s photos, etc., and she has even traveled to China on charity missions. Her generosity and love for children have been an inspiration to every CCAI staff member.
Congratulations, Linda, on this well-deserved award!
