Poetic Bridges

About Us

Poetic Bridges is an organization under the NGO Global Youth Bridge Associations.The non profit organization focuses on bringing a sense of belonging to Chinese adoptees by providing them a video that includes detailed explanations about their hometown, the environment, landscapes, and poems in the town’s dialect.We also accept chinese adoptees’ requests and commissions worldwide as well,we try to make their gifts within a period of 2-3 months,Poetic Bridges believes in serving people through our community and being a bridge to close the gap between the adoptees and their hometowns.

Our Projects

Our organization creates customized video projects for adoptees who are curious about their hometowns. Each of these projects is a gift for the Chinese adoptees. Through Poetic Bridges, the "gift" would include: poems of their birthplace, landscapes, cultures, personal requests and interest, and many more. Our projects are made under careful and thorough investigations, planning, and on site filming. We hope that our project and gift can bring adoptees what they were looking for, as well as diminishing the physical distance between them and their "hometowns".
