Help for Kimi's Orphanage!!!



For some background, last September, I met with someone who is on the board of Love Without Boundaries (LWB), a group that raises funds to help the orphans left behind in China. She asked me about Kimi's background and I shared with her about Kimi being left in her crib in a Chinese orphanage the first 46 months of her life . I went on to tell her how the Director of the orphanage apologetically explained to me (via the translator) how many children they had living there, many of whom were severe SN children, and how few workers they had. She asked me to provide her with the name of the orphanage, etc. so that LWB volunteers could provide help to the children. So, I provided the information. After speaking with the Director of LWB, she wrote me and said, "...they would start out by offering to help with any medical issues needed and offer to move some of the babies into LWB's Fuzhou Healing Home for care." I had not heard anything more since then, but was thrilled to know that there were children who would be helped as a direct result of Kimi's having lived there.
Well, today, I went to the LWB website, and there were photos of children living in Kimi's orphanage in Huai'An, Jiangsu Province, wearing nice, warm, new outfits provided by LWB last December! So, I thought I would share the link to the article and photos! http://www.lovewithoutboundaries.com/sites/lwb/uploads/documents/Nutrition__OA_Updates/OA__Nutrition_Update_-_Dec._2011.pdf . They are the first 6 photos in the article. Made my day!!

  2. I wondered if any of these children might be one of the kids about to get families? So, I wanted to post this on the Huai'an yahoo group site, but it looks like someone deleted the group, and I don't know who the moderator is.

  3. Kathy,
    This post made my day! It warms my heart and you are a gift from God for all of your efforts!

    Have you tried to see if there is a Huai'an group on Facebook? Both my Qidong 2005 and Fujian groups have moved over to FB, so they are no longer very active on Yahoo.
