A New Assistant Director in China

We have a New Assistant Director in China!
Blessing Hands is pleased to announce that we have hired an Assistant Director in China. Michelle Tian is a graduate of James Cook University, Singapore Campus. She will start work on May 1st and travel with our team in China in June.

Michelle feels strongly that she wants to teach and help children. She was active in youth work in Singapore and wants to continue to work with our students especially in our summer camps.
Michelle enjoyed working with special education people in Singapore.
Her translation skills have already come in very handy. She did oral translation as a volunter in Singapore. We really enjoyed the quick translation she did while she was interviewing with our board. 

She is our first full- time employee. Now that we are official in China, we are ready to grow. An enthusiastic person willing to deal with the paperwork required for the benefit of our students and volunteers is a great blessing. Her vision for her life compliments the values of Blessing Hands - to be a giver and not a receiver.
She will oversee 5 projects in Guangxi and 8 more in four other provinces. She will get to see those projects for the first time while she travels with our team during the months of June and early July.

Michelle grew up in Yunnan Province in China, but she is willing to move to Guangxi Province where Blessing Hands is registered with the Education Department as an official Foreign NGO. She will be near our Nanning City friends and supporters and our home office in China.
We had fun singing with the kids at Longyan Chongshan Primary School. They get school supplies and equipment from cash jars in our local Chinese restaurants.

I had so many gifts and thank you letters that it took a while to read and sort them all when I got home.
Sponsor a Student
Students need sponsors. We are adding students and schools in fall 2018.

You can sponsor  a primary student  for
$265 a year.

A middle school student needs $332 a year and a high school student is $398 a year.

Contact us about sponsorship.
Scholarships

The fall scholarship students needed $650 college scholarships. We have found sponsors for  51 college students in Hubei, Gansu, Guizhou, Yunnan and Guangxi Provinces.

We met many alumni and present college scholarship students from one end of China to the other. Many of them are giving back into our programs, being a blessing hand themselves.


New Assistant Director

In June, Michelle Tian travelled with our team for a month visiting our various projects and students.

Her heart was moved with all she saw and learned. She is a great translator and dedicated employee. In this picture, she is standing on my left wearing one of our new yellow vests.

We will have 10 more students at Du'an Special Education School in the fall.

You can sponsor one for $300 a year.
