ChaoFan

Half the Sky China Care is sponsoring a new child, ChaoFan!

ChaoFan is a boy born in southern China with glaucoma.  Glaucoma is an eye disease in which the optic nerve is damaged.  It is usually associated with increased fluid pressure in the eye, and can lead to permanent vision damage and even blindness if left untreated.   ChaoFan has glaucoma in both eyes, and needs surgery to arrest the deterioration of his vision.  The operation will treat the eye’s trabecular meshwork (the eye’s drainage system) and clear any clogged drainage canals.

Join with us to save not only his eyes, but also the childhood he deserves.

BIG NEWS!

We are also sponsoring a surgery!

The procedure is $600 and this boy's name is Xiao Jian, who was born in Eastern China.  He needs a Hernia surgery because of a weakness in his abdominal wall that has developed into a hole where fat, tissue and organs can protrude.  The operation is for his long-term health and is very common.

Adoption Celebration

The Adoption Celebration last Friday was a big success!  We had arts and crafts (Origami and chopstick dragons) and a few wonderful speakers.  The presentations were great, the food was yummy and the kids were adorable.  We were even in the paper here .

Thank you to everyone who attended and we are sorry for the people who couldn't make it.  Hope to see you next time!
