Superkids Team
Superkids is a humanitarian aid initiative within the Asia Waiting Child Program of the Gladney Center for Adoption. Our goal: to improve the lives of children in Chinese orphanages via adoption advocacy, medical and rehabilitation services. Starting as a tiny team providing services to special needs children in a single facility in Shanghai in 2007, we've grown to a broad coalition of physicians, early childhood development specialists, teachers and volunteers who've aided 500 children in orphanages across China.

Miranda is a 9 year old girl whom we met on our last trip to Taiwan in November {as a side note, emails have been flying back and forth as we plan our next trip to Taiwan!}. She is a quiet little girl who likes to dress up and look pretty. Her favorite toys are her Barbie dolls. She loves doing their hair and dressing them. She also likes to draw and she quickly drew us a very cute little picture of a girl.

The last time we saw Ferris was in May of 2016, so I was excited when I learned we would be seeing him again in November. Sweet 9 year old Ferris participated in all tasks we asked of him, even if he was a little hesitant at first. And he did great – even solving multiplication problems!

I was so excited when I learned that we would be meeting with Desi again during our trip in November. I first met Desi during our spring trip – he was the last kid I saw that trip and he left quite an impression. He was so fun and animated when he answered my questions, and so funny! I was practically crying from laughing so hard! So, needless to say, I was looking forward to spending more time with him.

We have been quiet for a week. It was my intent to post about a few children and tell you all about the photography workshop I was attending in Phoenix, AZ where the weather is mild and the oranges are ripe on the trees. Photography has been a big part of Superkids, so I wanted to share the workshop with you here too.
