It’s Carnival Time!

Wah-chun and Sai-sai are much better off now that they have been absorbed into the community built by faithful volunteers.

This weekend, November 24th & 25th, Christian Action will be joining forces with International Christian Assemblies at a carnival celebrating the diversity of cultures that make Hong Kong a vibrant and exciting world class city.

This summer, those four precious girls and their families came back to visit us. While they waited in the lobby of Xining Children's Home, they were thrilled to see the display of a world map, with photographs of each of the four girls in Sweden!
