A New Home for Medically Fragile Babies
Part One - Training and Planning
Part Three - The Babies Arrive!
Once the training was completed and furniture and supplies began arriving, everyone pitched in. Our babies were due to arrive on May 7 but goods didn't begin to arrive until the last week in April. Nobody at Half the Sky had a May Day holiday this year!

By May 7, when the babies were due, things were looking pretty good. Still no curtains and nothing on the walls, but the Special Care Nurseries and Family Care Unit were beginning to look like home. Each bed was tagged with the name of its soon-to-be resident.

The medical and care staff had one final meeting in preparation. Lily Lu, who's joined Half the Sky from China Care briefed everyone on each of the babies who would soon arrive.
