For the second week in a row, I tagged along with my colleague Judy and her group of devout expatriate evangelical Christian buddies to spread the holiday spirits and visit those less fortunate. This time, they went to visit an orphanage that is currently hosting 18 children.

Background:

The Sihui Orphanage is known for giving proper care to its young residents. The institute receives ample donations from various contributors - including a source from Korea. Currently, the orphanage hosts 18 children, who range from the age of 3 to 16 (including a group of older Xinjiang girls). According to the orphanage director, the center takes in kids who are legally classified by the communist party as “orphans” - in other words, children whose parents have passed away, children whose parent(s) are serving jail sentences, or children who were given up by their families.
