Two weeks ago I wrote about Zhou Ma who needed surgery to repair the burn injuries caused to her face and hand before she came to Huangnan Children’s home

Zhou Ma’s visit to Hong Kong for surgery has been a landmark event for her and a rewarding experience for us.

As a member of an exclusive Qinghai committee of influential members of the public known as the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC), the Executive Director of Christian Action, Mrs. Cheung Ang Siew Mei, is in a position to submit policy proposals to the provincial government.

Zhong Linjun is the first orphan from our Home to get married!  Linjun wasn’t even two years old when her mother fell ill and died.

Millions of poor herdsmen and farmers who are benefiting from changes that have been made to Qinghai’s rural cooperative medical service policy don’t know that it was a dying baby who led Christian Action to see that these changes were desperately needed.
