Because every child, no matter how humble her beginnings, deserves loving care, and a chance at a bright future.
Half the Sky city, Fuzhou (or Linchuan) is in an essentially poor part of Jiangxi province but there is enough to keep you busy-- roller-skating, bowling, the waterpark, a walk by the river or stroll through the People's Park. Noodles for lunch cost only 2RMB, while a meal with fish, rice and vegetable costs about five. An 80-minute foot massage is just 30 kuai (about US$4)!
HuiLi finds Love
HuiLi entered our Infant Nurture Program in March of this year. He has an esophageal obstruction and has had an operation. He has sparse hair on his little head, and there is always a smile on his little long face.
He was three months and nineteen days’ old when I saw him the first time. I held him into my arms and told him, “I will take care of you from now on.” He looked at me and smiled at me.
The ayi told me that he could drink 40-50ml milk and very soon after he finished it, he would cry for someone to hold him. The second time I went to see him, he cried as expected and when I held him in my arms, he stopped crying. I told him, “Huili, we will be together every day, do you like it? Tell me!”..
