Helping Ethiopian Students

 


Good news for the poor students at Bright Hope School in Addis. The new kitchen underway which will allow about 500 of the poorer children of the district around the Leper Hospital to receive one free meal a day. It had been stopped for lack of funds but, thanks to PARTNERS(!) we can now complete the building. But don’t be disappointed that you didn’t get to help on such a great project! We are still in need of funds for stoves, tables, cabinets and chairs. You can help with the equipment and help transform a community!

A visit to CHI Foster Home...

 News media in China recently visited with Melody and the staff and children at Alenah's House, our CHI foster home.  The children at Alenah's House are all special needs children.  They receive medical care and physical therapy while they are at the home.  Most importantly, the children receive a loving connection with the volunteers and staff there.  The goals is to provide the kids with a sense of family and connection with the staff and "brothers and sisters" in the foster home.

Lovely Lila...

 

Pretty little Lila is 7 years old.She has received surgery for malformed right hand and has no other health issues.  Here's what her aunties report:
"In September of 2011, Lila began to receive preschool education in ordinary elementary school near the institute. She has Chinese, math, music and art classes. She was very happy and would go to the school with other children happily. Since she has deformity of the right hand, she can only write with the left hand. But this has not beaten her. Other children can write after several times of practice. For her, it would be dozens of times. Sometimes, she would say to the teacher “my hand hurts.” She still insists finishing the homework. Her spirit moved every teacher who teaches her. She is a child who is so persevering. Everyone loves this girl who has a ready smile and fair skin."
NOTE - In Chinese schools, children do not write "lefty" no matter what.

Lila is available to single moms and to married couples who have applied to Children's Hope and have competed their homestudy.

Little Lindy....

 

There has been tons of excitement for Little Couple Bill and Jen's adoption of little William.  So much happiness on behalf of this famous family and their adopted little son!!!

Now it's time to meet Little Lindy.  Lindy turns five this May. Her aunties report that "She is a lovely girl, she is very active. She can get along well with another children, she is one of the most popular partners in the activity. She likes to help others. Lindy is very smart, she likes to ask why, she can sing the children's songs, she likes to draw pictures, the imitate ability of her is strong. She can speak all her classmates' names, and she can speak sentences clearly. She can understand the content of the story and the teacher’s question, and tell the right answer. She can speak more than four kinds of common colors. She knows some of the common object in the daily life. She can copy simple numbers. She can draw a square and triangle."

In other words, Lindy is a wonderful girl! Like Little William, Lindy is a child of great potential in a little body. All she needs is a family of her own.  Lindy's adoptive parents don't need to be little people. They need only have big hearts for Lindy.

Lindy can be adopted by a single mom or a married couple who have completed their homestudy.
Call Mary House 773 647 2610 or email mary.house@chidrenshope.net to learn more.
