Faith as small as a Mustard Seed

In the blink of an eye, an entire year has passed since I wrote my April 11, 2019 blog post ‘Off to New Horizons’, and we relocated our headquarters to Choi Wan! Innumerable renovations and upgrades have followed since then. The most striking and beautiful is our three murals, which are based on the biblical parable of a mustard seed.

Happy Birthday Green Connect!

I recently heard an inspiring radio show on the goodness of giving new life to tired, old and unwanted household items by upcycling them. With a little imagination, the show’s guest explained, the old can become new again, and best of all, upcycling reduces the amount of household waste going to the landfill.

Gone! 40,000 Face Masks!

A Coronavirus Update

Thank you everyone for reaching out to me about the children and those we serve. In spite of all the upheavals there is good news!

Qinghai Province has had eighteen confirmed Covid-19 cases, all of whom have fully recovered and been discharged from hospital. Our Children's Homes in Huangnan, Guoluo, Hainan and Haixi are located outside of designated epidemic control areas and their surrounding populations all returned to work in mid-February. The children in our Xining Children's Home are also safe and protected. This is due in large part to officers from Civil Affairs, who have been ceaseless in making sure we have all we need, and our local partner who quickly enforced a strict ‘staff only' access policy and postponed all outings.
