Description
Hope's Heart Orphan Foundation is dedicated to aiding in the well being of orphans by contributing to programs that help meet their daily needs and enrich their lives.
Over the past two years we have seen increased use of foster homes to provide orphans with individual care and attention in a family setting. Local Chinese families are opening their homes to assist with the nurturing of the children under their care. These families are being trained and carefully monitored to see that the babies and toddlers are developing in a healthy, happy, loving environment. They are providing one-on-one care of special needs children.
The first is the foster care assistant who is helping to oversee over 80 children who have been removed from the orphanage and are residing with foster families. To learn more of this project visit the 2008 care giving page . The second is the physical therapist who was hired to work with children with physical challenges that require one-on-one daily attention and live in an orphanage. Her responsibilities also include working with foster parents to train them in aiding the child under their care who need attention given to their special needs.
CC 'talks' on and on (babbles), likes to give hugs, and enjoys examining her toys. NP loves to laugh and make sounds of single syllables. She is very attached to her nanny. Focus this next quarter will be to verbal communication and physical stimulation and development. August UPDATE - Good reports continue to come in. Our nanny continues individual work with CL. CL has mastered walking, can now go outside to play ,and has become assertive with other children, snatching their toy or food. Nanny will train her in proper social manners as well as work on language development.
- Hope's Heart is dedicated to funding programs that assist in increasing the caregiver to child ratio in Chinese orphanages. Hope's Heart has been providing support for two aunties at an orphanage in southeast China since February. Below are some updated pictures of the aunties faithfully serving the precious children in this orphanage.
