Ji'an Social Welfare Institute has a special place in my heart. When I first visited the orphanage in 2013, we drove on a bumpy dirt road to a very poor orphanage. We visited with the children in 2 cramped dark rooms. Even though we see over a hundred kids each trip, I vividly remember the kids climbing in the windows, their faces, and the clothes they were wearing. We left with tears in our eyes that day.
The transformation over the last four years has been amazing. It is now housed in a beautiful new facility with one of the region's rehabilitation centers on campus. The staff is attentive and truly interested in ideas on how to improve care of each individual child.

Today the advocacy team got to spend the morning with the babies and who doesn't love the babies?! We played with bubbles. We read books. We cuddled. We helped them walk. We fed them lunch. Then it was nap time and we parted ways.
