It’s somewhat comforting to see THIS LINK and get confirmation that the professional photographers who followed us to the park on our last day and were all up in our faces were for a legitimate reason.

That’s me, the I’m-crazy-glad-that-I-still-had-a-pack-of-stickers-left-in-my-backpack me.

In case you don’t read Mandarin and you don’t want to fight Google translate for salvable meaning, here’s how (I think) the article translates for us English speakers.

 

Love Without Boundary

 

On October 12, 2015, 15 team members came to [this orphanage] and spent a wonderful week with children here. Also, they built deep relationships. During the week, they were singing, dancing, and playing games together. Also, they taught kids to draw and do handcrafts. They even accompanied them to the Botanic park to extend their vision and knowledge.

The kids had an unforgettable week. Through every warm and impressed moment, despite how it was short in time and with a language barrier, we saw that love has no barrier. Love is rooted in the kids’ hearts.

A team member born in the 1990s said it was her first time to visit China and also the first time to communicate with the kids. But, when the kid called her Mama, she was very impressed and thought it was really meaningful to do something for the kids.

When the team was leaving, the kids pulled the hands of the foreign Dads and Moms and did not want them to leave. We gave them handcrafts and cards to express our gratitude.
