Amity Projects at the Nanchang Orphanage Include:

Sponsorship for 11 schoolchildren in kindergarten through senior middle school (high school) to attend school.

Sponsorship for three children to attend a school for the blind.

Sponsoring foster care for 59 children.

Sponsoring ten "Hugging Grannies" to spend time at the orphanage giving babies and children extra love and attention and helping to promote their physical, mental and emotional development.

Surgery for several children with cleft lips and/or palates.

Several other surgeries such as removal of tumors, hemangiomas, extra fingers and correction of other congenital defects.

And now we have two Nanchang children in need of open heart surgery!  Each of these surgeries will cost US$3886.  Please help with whatever amount you're able to.
