Tim Liao Visits More Families Under the Care of the Dandelion Children's Foundation.

Tim Liao, our Blessing Hands administrator in Nanning, China recently went to Yulin to visit the students of Blessing Hands that are in the care of the Dandelion Children's Foundation. We are giving sponsorships for 84 of their students who live at Dandelion House or in family foster care. Ms. Wei Meihua and Dandelion Director Qiu Lin went with Tim Liao. You can read a report of their visit in Chinese here.  The Chen sisters and their younger brother are looked after by their uncle and aunt since their parents are not able to. They receive government subsistence allowances.  You can sponsor each of the girls for $22 a month or $268 a year. Give on our website.

Guangfeng Qing

Hello, everyone! My name is Guangfeng. I am ten years old. I’m a student in grade three. I come from Guangxi, Yulin City. There are three people in my family - my sister Qing who is nine, my little brother Guo, and me. I had a sad childhood. My dad died because of illness seven years ago. Since then mom tried her best to take care of us. Although it was a difficult life, we were very happy. Unfortunately, my dear mom couldn’t stand the pain and suffering. She left us in the world three years ago. My elder uncle, who is 70 years old has raised us for years There are eight people in his family. He can’t afford to pay for us. Now my sister and I are raised at Dandelion Children’s Center, where there are many children like us. How I wish someone can help us!  You can sponsor each of them for $22 a month or $268 a year at this link.

Tim Liao is with the Liang Sisters. Guangkun has a sponsor, but Xueping needs one.

Xueping Xueping also needs a sponsor. Her father has no education and works as a farmer and a construction handyman at home. Her mother suffers from mental illness and has a first-degree disability, Her parents are divorced. Her stepmother suffers from mental retardation and belongs to the second level of disability. Her older sister, Guangkun is studying at Xinfeng Town Junior High School in Beiliu City. There is also a younger brother, Xianghai, who is frail and sickly. Now her grandfather is paralyzed and hospitalized. Someone has to take care of him, so the family has no source of income. Xueping is a second-year student in High School. She is a child full of positive energy. She faces the changes in the family positively. At the same time, she is an ideal girl. Her goal is to be admitted to Chongqing University. She needs $403 in sponsorship each year since high school is more expensive. Will you sponsor her? You can give on our website.

The Yulin Daily paper ran this report on our activities with the Dandelion Foundation. Mr. Qui, the Director of Dandelion, is also a famous reporter at the local newspaper. He did this interesting human interest story about Blessing Hands (祝福之手). We are getting to be known in Yulin.

Xiaoping Hello everyone! My name is Xiaoping, and I am a girl. I am 12 years old. I come from Guangxi, Yulin City. I am the only person in my family. My dear dad died because of illness when I was a little baby, and my mom has gone since then. So I was raised by my elder uncle and his wife - my aunt. They are farmers. There are already three children in my elder uncle’s family. It’s so difficult for my elder uncle to raise four children. Now I am living in Yulin City Dandelion Children Center, where there are many children like me.   Xiaoping is in the 6th grade at Fumian Shuiling Primary School.

En Hui School Needs Motorcycles

 

Aug 19, 2022, 11:22 AM (1 day ago)

Immediate Funds Are Needed in Thailand For En Hui School Hi all, my name is Mavis Lai Pui Fun (right), and my teaching partner’s name is Loke Su Han (left). We’re Malaysian. We are volunteers at En Hui School in Thailand. We have been in North Thailand, Chiang Mai, at Arunothai Chinese Village since January 2016, almost 7 years. Our volunteer work is not only teaching English in En Hui School, but we are also teaching Sunday School in Arunothai Church. On the weekends, we have to take care and concern for the older people and poverty families too. In En Hui School, we aim to let them know why English is important. Since we encourage students to enjoy reading English, we conduct an English Reading Competition.  En Hui School had to lock down four times last year, so we had to delay the English Reading Competition. Since students are back in school this year, we hope that Blessing Hands can encourage students who love to join the English Reading Competition by giving funds for awards. The total sum needed for awards is 4,500 THB = $127.31 If you want to help fund the English Reading Competition give at this link.  English Reading Competition Winners Motorcycle Funds Needed We are facing another financial problem. We hope we can raise motorcycle funds for our volunteer work. We want to help some poor families by picking up their children, so students and school teachers can go to En Hui School and Arunothai Church easier. They are too far away to attend our extra lessons or join any activities. We just have 1 motorcycle to take turns picking up the Sunday School teachers, and children. It is very difficult to catch the exact time. Sometimes, the activities have to use 3 – 4 hours to finish because of problems with transportation. We have play practice and other fun activities that some people have to miss since they have no transportation. En Hui Students Watching the English Competition We hope Blessing Hands can help us to raise money for two more Motorcycles. A petrol motorcycle we want is shown in the picture below. It has three wheels and is used here by many people. It would be easy to maintain. Road tax has to be paid every 3 months and the petrol bill. This gasoline model can carry 3 people and be faster, saving time. One is $927 (32,900 Baht), but if we bought two, it would cost $1,854 (65,800 Baht). Thank you for listening to our sharing.  Mavis Lai Pui Fun You can use this link to give.
