It can seem daunting. There are more than 100 million orphans in the world. Every 18 seconds, another child becomes an orphan. Those are scary numbers, and they are sad numbers. But you cannot let the immensity of the crisis numb you. Inaction and apathy are the enemies of progress. We believe there is hope […]
Nelson was admitted to our newest special care center in Nanyang this summer. He was three-months old when he arrived, and was in need of medical care for his cleft lip and palate. He is a cheerful six-month-old baby who loves to smile back when he is being talked to! We have been pleased to watch […]
