Special Education Teachers in the Orphanages
We have special education teachers in some of the orphanages. Each has ten orphans in her classroom. We are looking for people to sponsor (or help to sponsor) the children. Sponsors will get a report twice a year, with a photo, for their sponsored child. These child sponsorships pay the salary for the teachers. We need $850 per child per year but donations of any amount, one time or recurring, will help. You don't need to be the only sponsor for a child. We recently added a teacher at the Yichun SWI so need some sponsors for her. (Children from the Shanggao, Yifeng, Tonggu, Fenxin, Wanzai, Gao'an, Fengcheng, and Zhangshu orphanages are now also cared for at the Yichun SWI). We recently added three teacher assistants at the Ganzhou CWI (which also has children from the Ningdu and Ruijin orphanages) so are in great need of sponsors there. Email peggy@chinaorphanaid.org from more information.
Physical Therapists in the Orphanages
Similar to what we're doing with the special education teachers, we pay for the salary of a physical therapists by having donors sponsor an orphan under the care of the therapist. We are just starting a physical therapist at the Jingdezhen SWI so are in great need of sponsors there. And since we've added a second therapist at the Ganzhou CWI sponsors are needed there as well.
We provide
- Foster care (now mostly in small group homes with 4-5 children in each)
- Hugging Grannies
- School tuitions
- Special education teachers
- Physical therapists
...and meet various other needs for children in several orphanages in the Jiangxi province in China.
We publish reports from each orphanage twice a year. These reports go to those who have indicated their interest in that particular location. If you'd like to do that, just email us under "Sign up for our newsletters!" at the left.
As you can see, Jiangxi is in the southeast of China. **
Our current focus is on special education. Due to the recent regionalization of orphanages (read more here), the institutions have increased populations of children with severe disabilities, and professional special educators have become even more essential.
Where in the past we’ve encouraged donors to sponsor a child in foster care, now we’re inviting you to sponsor a child who needs special education. Just as in the past, you’ll receive two reports a year on that child’s progress, while your donation goes to pay the professionally-trained teacher’s salary.
To sponsor a child, or get more information and photos, please email Peggy. To learn more about our special education efforts, click here.
