Dang Fu Xing has left for Singapore for heart surgery for a very complex congenital heart condition. Parker Dang Zi Run has been moved to a foster family in Luoyang under the supervision of CEO Foundation who has a great foster program there and Alicia Dang Ji Bei has been adopted and is home with her family in the US by now. Her Mom reports that she has settled with ease and has picked up the English language so rapidly. We thank Becky Plummer, her preschool teacher here at HFH for giving her an excellent start to her new life.

2) Love Without Boundaries Shunyi Outreach Foster Program. ( currently 12 children with possible maximum of 20) We have had to return Mary Fu Wen Fei (Muscular Dystrophy) to her orphanage as her foster mother could no longer care for her. She is under the supervision of COAT, an Australian organization who has worked for many years with this orphanage and have a great Physical therapy unit there.  Spencer Sam will leave for Hong Kong on April 20th for surgery. He is expected to be there for 1 month

Volunteers.

Marta and Susanna from Sweden and Kate RT have had their hands full and we have been very grateful for them.

4) LWB Special Care Unit ( 12 beds)

 We moved 12 children into this new unit on March 31^st. Bill C a doctoral Physical Therapy student will assist us in assessing the children requiring  physical therapy in our main Beijing Unit, our Henan Unit and the children in the outreach program. Bill will also advise on equipment that we need to buy for this unit in Beijing and in Henan.

5) HFH Special Care Unit, Luoyang, Henan Province: ( 45 beds)

This is still on the cards to renovate and open by the end of this year and we will be able to focus more on this now that the LWB Special Care unit is up and running.

Our Most Sincere Thanks To;

1)       KKL from Singapore who covered the cost of Fu Jin Jin’s recent surgery.

2)     More than 20  ISB students who came and worked on maintaining our playground equipment.

3)     Capital Community Church, Dawn C. and A Mother’s Love who each have sponsored a room in our Luoyang Special Care unit.

4)     Those who sent us much needed supplies from many parts of the world.

Our Needs:

1)       We still need either volunteers with foreign passports willing to take children and care for them in Hong Kong, while they undergo surgery. All expenses paid.

OR…

       Families in Hong Kong who would be willing to foster them short term ( 2 months)  Please contact Joyce joyce@hopefosterhome.com  if you know of anyone who can help.

2) Many children are in need of funds for travel/ surgery in the next month or so

Even part of the costs for any of these children, will help our Medical fund. Please email us and we will be able to give you details and photos of a child requiring surgery.

 With gratitude
