A Day In the Life of Three Orphanage Assistance Volunteers!

In our continuing series, “A Day In the Life,” we are featuring three volunteers who were inspired to work with our Orphanage Assistance (OA) program. We hope you enjoy learning more about these dedicated volunteers and what they do for LWB!

MaryHelen Donnelly, Orphanage Assistance Coordinator: I am a single mother who works full time, so after I put my daughter to bed I usually log onto the computer to check my email and then 2-3 times a week do some of my LWB volunteer work. I wear two hats in the Orphanage Assistance program. In my role as the OA Child Coordinator, I archive all the pictures, stories and sponsor updates that are produced by the OA team. Parents who have adopted from China can request any information that LWB has on their child from their days living in the orphanage. When I receive one of these requests, I look through the archives and send the parents what information I have on their child and/or the SWI in which their child resided.

Time for My Weigh-In!

Micah has grown so big that he barely fits onto the scale for his monthly weigh-in! When you consider that he had purulent meningoencephalitis when he arrived at the Deyang orphanage in Sichuan province, it’s especially wonderful to see him looking so rosy and robust. Thanks to the good care and nutrition Micah has received there, this ten-month old is obviously flourishing. According to his nannies, he really enjoys his formula and, unlike some of the other babies, waits for it patiently with a big smile on his face. In fact, they say that Micah is a chubby, content and funny boy who loves to smile — just not when he’s involved with the serious business of being weighed!

Happy Tao

I would like to introduce you to this sweetie, little Tao!

Let’s Visit Nanchuan!

I would like to share some pictures of a recent visit to Nanchuan! We are so lucky to have great monitors in China who can visit the orphanages and see the children who we help there. This is Debora and one of the children.

Children’s “Nutrition” Choices

Although I have no doubt that LWB provided formula should be a child’s first choice of what to eat, as a Mom of 4 I also know that sometimes kids have other ideas!

Warm Bodies and Full Tummies

When I was waiting for my daughters to come home, I always hoped that they had a warm body and a full tummy.

Danny Boy

Music is a big part of my life and the song “Danny Boy” came to mind a few minutes ago as I was preparing to start writing about Little Danny from Dingxi, Gansu province. Don’t you think he is a little cutie?

Have You Met Brian?

I’d like to introduce you to one of our newest nutrition program recipients. This is Brian, and he lives in Lu’An.
