Photo of the Week - Visiting China

This week, Julie from Ireland and Arlene from the UK have been visiting our programs in Hunan, Henan, and Anhui. We have received a few wonderful photos from their travels. We loved this photo of Julie that was taken on Monday in Hunan. What a precious new baby!

Photo of the Week - I Love Nutrition

Don't you just love this picture? Seeing this child's happy smile with his bag of nutritious formula made my day. Nutrition is so important to the growth of every child...we just love to see these healthy, happy smiles. How wonderful it is to be a part of his full tummy!

Photo of the Week - School Fun!

Children everywhere love going to Preschool and Kindergarten. It is no different to the children in our orphanage Believe in Me Schools. We are so grateful to Hope's Heart Foundation for helping to make the Jinjiang, Fujian orphanage school a reality. Everyday, children get to experience the wonder of school. Don't you just love the joy on their faces?

What Inspires YOU?

Over the weekend, the LWB Executive Team met to discuss so many items to make LWB better, run smoother, and how to move into the future. Being with this group of smart, passionate, and loving women just inspires me to do more and be a better person.

Every time I have traveled to China, visiting orphanage after orphanage, playing with the children, meeting with orphanage staff, and government officials, I come back so inspired, wanting to work harder, better, for the children. I feel like we are a team with the staff and officials, all working to better the lives of the children we help. Whenever I have a slow day, it is these trips that I look back on to get me focused on what it is that needs to be done.

What inspires you? Do you have a thought, idea, or person that spurs you into action? What are you passionate about?
