Packages of Hope - China 2005

Lisa here- Jeff has great news to report! His trip is going very well in Bengbu. He met with Mr. Song, the SWI director who spent the next 12 hours with Jeff and Yong Ming giving unlimited access to the orphanage housing birth to three years children. Jeff learned that the children are split up into five different temporary locations while the new SWI is being built. The new SWI will be 7 floors approximately 20,000 square meters large and one floor will be a hospital. There are approximately 180 children in the 5 temporary facilities with another 60 children in foster care in the city.

All of the 13 boxes have arrived including the books to start a library for the children. Jeff went back to the birth to three years facility in the evening to help the children get to sleep. He shared that it was a powerful day. He would like to adopt another 180 children......
