With great pride and pleasure I visited the Bengbu orphanage today!
I was greeted with a great reception from SWI director Mr. Song, and from Orphanage director Ms. Wan.
We exchanged gifts, and I presented her with our present from Packages of Hope.
They recognized every single photo on the photo I gave to them.
I conveyed best wishes from the families that had sent me items to deliver to the ophanage.
They presented me with a beautiful piece of embroidery, as well as artwork from the orphanage children in order for us to raise money for Bengbu Orphanage. Each piece contains a photo and a synopsis of the orphan's history. They are truly amazing!
I took some photos and some video of cute kiddos whose parents are on their way.
It was great to take a peek at the kids!
She mentioned that the toy rocking horses are a HUGE hit, and they could use approximately 50 more.
She mentioned to me that there are 90 children in the 0-3 year old orphanage building, and 60% are disabled.
With her staff of 40 nannies, Ms. Wan provides great care to these children! They looked happy and healthy!
Here's some video of the orphanage for 0-3 year olds used from about 2003 to 2007:
