About joining a Half the Sky Work Crew in China

FOUR STARS - FOUR YEARS IN A ROW!

From Charity Navigator: "We are proud to announce Half the Sky Foundation has earned our fourth consecutive 4-star rating for its ability to
efficiently manage and grow its finances. Only 8% of the charities we rate have received at least 4 consecutive 4-star evaluations, indicating that Half the Sky Foundation consistently executes its mission in a fiscally responsible way, and outperforms most other charities in America. This “exceptional” designation from Charity Navigator differentiates Half the Sky Foundation from its peers and demonstrates to the public it is worthy of their trust."

RuFang - The Littlest Mama

When 3-year-old RuFang was asked to take part in a preschool role reversal game called “Let me be Mama,” she accepted with enthusiasm. Though her entire young life has been spent at the Chuzhou Children’s Welfare Institution, RuFang easily slipped into the mother's role with no direction from her teachers. She gave “her children” lots of hugs, quietly said “mama” over and over, and patiently helped them put on their clothes, wash their faces, and comb their hair.

It was easy and natural because throughout her years at the institution she has received doting, mom-like care -- first from her Half the Sky nanny and then from her Half the Sky preschool teacher.

It was RuFang’s nanny He Xinnian who noticed when she was an infant that she liked to use a teething ring to help her get to sleep and her adorable sleeping position: “She hides her thumbs in her fingers and puts her little fists on either side of her head.” >>>
