Sponsor a Nannie March, 2012

Many of you who follow Swallow's Nest know that our on site directors are also teaching at the local university in order to maintain legal visa status and remain in China. Clay and Pam Williams, founders of Swallow's Nest with the assistance of many volunteers and our chinese employees carry out the day to day details of caring for these orphans.

In January, Pam resigned her position at the university. In previous years her university salary helped pay our employees. Thus, we are launching our "Sponsor a Nannie" Program to expand our donation base in order to continue our work.

We have shared a little about our dedicated staff on our Nannie page. As always we appreciate all of you!!!

New Nursing Students

Last week I wrote my friend Arthur at the Nursing College. I asked him for some weekend girls to help us out at Swallow's Nest. He sent these students. Oh my, they look so young, but in reality I'm just getting older by the second. They have a try weekend to train, and if they think the job "fits" them (as they say in China) then we hire them. They work from Friday night about 7 pm until Sunday at 7 pm. They live with the kids, cook, sleep, clean and enjoy the babies. We are so thankful for their youthful energy.

Little TT

Little TT is HIV +. We sponsor her to live at another facility that can meet her needs. It's been a while since we've seen photos of her. But an adopting family went for a visit and took several photos of the cute baby. Further questioning proved true, little TT is growing. She was in the hospital in November and thanks for special donation, we were able to send 3300 yuan for her hospital costs.

Her paperwork has been prepared and we hope that she has a forever family.

En Hao Visits

Then over walks one of the caregivers with a huge smile.......En Hao??? She says. She immediately recognized him and told Rebecca she had cared for him when he was little.

What a blessing to get a picture with them together. It is so clear how loved these children are. They are truly cared for with gentle, kind, loving hands and it shows.
