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.
What do you do when you are just getting ready to leave for a trip to Taiwan and you get new files from China?
You quickly schedule a couple of extra blog posts to introduce a few of the new children!

Victor is every bit as adorable as his pictures and report describe! We were able to travel
to meet him recently, and he is a friendly, silly and typical
9 year old boy. He is very inquisitive and curious and has a lot of questions about almost everything, as he likes to figure out how things work. His teacher back in China shares that he is intellectually on target, and he works hard at school. His favorite subjects are PE and cooking class! He takes English classes every week, and he likes it very much!
