A loving home has a powerful influence on a child's growth. These children are orphans from different villages. The parents either died in the earthquake of 1996 or of illness.
Huge orphanages serve a purpose.
This project seeks to provide a homely atmosphere. Often orphaned and abandoned children do not have the opportunity to live as part of a family, but are in huge orphanages of welfare institutions together with elderly and disabled people. These children need the attention, love and concern of a caring family unit. Yunnan Province in south-western China has many orphans and abandoned children deprived of the love a home could give. It seems that most of the orphans are found among Yunnan's 24 minority peoples.
