Bengbu SWI - Those who make it possible

I am very proud to be part of a team working together in order to help the children of Bengbu SWI.  It is a unique harmony that has been solid over time.

There is Steven Tao, who is a professor at Bengbu Medical College.  He has been helping us as a volunteer, not accepting payment of any kind for his efforts to translate and assist us in helping the children.

There is Ms. Wan - the director of the orphanage for children from 0-3 years old.  She is a source of happiness and care for the children.  She is a devoted mother, a doctor, and a force of optimism in the orphanage.

Then there is Director Song.   He is the director of the overall Social Welfare Institute.  From the very first time I met him, he was friendly and open.  He is kind and generous, and with his trust, we have been able to do so much for the children at the orphanage.  We owe him a large debt of gratitude for his willingness to work with our organization for the children.

And last but not least, all the families who donate to Packages of Hope who make it all possible.  Bengbu families support us from around the world - the Netherlands, Australia, Norway (Thank you Suzanne Erstad!!), Spain, Italy, England, Canada, and in the USA.
