News – October 2008
Dear Friends and Supporters,
This month we have had the pleasure of yet again hosting a group of autistic children from the Pathlight School in Singapore. These children are amazing and their teachers and carers deserve medals for the loving care they provide the kids.
We also received visits from The Collette Foundation and several individuals, local and overseas groups. There has been a lot of movement of children this month. It’s not easy handling this number of children yet the needs are overwhelming.

Five children below went to Suzhou to have surgery with visiting surgeons from Hong Kong. All but Matthew and Adam are doing well. Matthew had some post-operative complications and had to undergo urgent surgery for a second time. Please keep him in your prayers.
JM Zhou, HJ Xiang, and Rudy have returned well.
Jasmine went to Hong Kong to have her bladder assessed.

We welcome the return of Susan YX Jia who was recently operated on in the US and Jade FM Lian who received heart surgery in Singapore. They both had very complex heart conditions. We are very grateful to all those involved who have enabled us to facilitate surgery for these two beautiful little girls. We are hoping that adoption will be the next step for them.

New babies
We admitted 4 new babies with cleft lips and palates from Henan Province. They all need some extra care and feeding before they will be ready for surgery.
