In 2010 Xiao Ye was the first Little Red Scarf patient to need surgery in Beijing, due to his complicated heart condition. At that time, he was 4 years old and couldn't walk on his own. The doctors said he wouldn't live into adulthood without surgery, and even that was a risk.

With LRS support, Xiao Ye underwent a successful operation. We continue to follow up with his family as Xiao Ye grows up and loves to run.

Now 10 years old, Xiao Ye has been feeling tired recently. A checkup showed that his aortic valve has not healed properly and he will  need another surgery in Beijing. Track his chronological journey and progress with us.

​Senior Center: June 2015 Project Report

Senior Chronic Illness Self-Care Group Event

Warming the Later Years and Giving Company Event
Grounded on core values of respect, love, and service to the elderly, the Xin Yue Senior Citizen Service Center of Chongqing, China, promotes social work services for senior citizens and builds harmonious living environment for them.
​

  1. Visiting Services
This month, we held 5 visitation events. A volunteer from Chongqing Technical University, Li Xianping, visited grandmother Kuang on June 9th; volunteer Liu Haili visited grandmother Zhang on the 12th; 5 volunteers from Huizhizhou visited 5 seniors on the 7th, 20th, and 27th. When visiting grandmother Kuang, the elderly grandmother wanted Li Xianping to help her burn some paper money for a colleague of hers who passed away. After getting to know Mrs. Kuang, Li found out that when Mrs. Kuang was working, she had a misunderstanding with her colleague and did not clear up in the decades that passed. When she found out that her colleague has passed away, Mrs. Kuang felt awful. But because of her bedbound condition, she can only ask the volunteer to help her. After finding out about this situation, Li Xianping immediately contacted social workers in the center to discuss making the grandmother feel better by reviewing her life together. Burning paper money is only a way for her to feel temporarily relieved. By understanding what happened in the past through conversations with the elderly, Li could find the reasons behind Mrs. Kuang’s actions and help her feel better.
  1. Volunteer Service Activities
    • “My Body, My Responsibility” Chronic Illnesses Self-Care Group: With support from center social workers, two professional social volunteers from Chongqing Technical University held a “My Body, My Responsibility” Chronic Illnesses Self-Care Group activity. Through site visiting and investigating in advance and after getting the permission of the elderly, volunteers selected 10 seniors who had similar experiences. They all suffer from high blood pressure or diabetes. In the group, volunteers ask the seniors to share their experience with the illness and tricks for controlling it. They also discussed how to use resources more efficiently. After going through the first five activities, the group bond strengthened and trust grew. The group members became more comfortable with sharing their experiences with the illness and how they deal with the condition. They found spiritual support through sharing and understanding one another and bonded with each other.
    • “Warming the Later Years and Giving Company” Event: On June 13th, the center partnered with the Chongqing Sunshine Philanthropy Foundation and New Parent newspaper to start the “Warming the Later Years and Giving Company” event. 13 caring families from the New Parent newspaper spent a joyous and unforgettable time with the seniors, helping them feel the warmth of having a family.
    • Volunteer Barber Activity: On June 20th, 2 volunteers from Bananmeihui Barber Shop again provided their services to 31 seniors.                                         
  2. Changle Island—June Group Birthday Party for Seniors
On the afternoon of June 28th, the center, in partnership with Chongqing Sunshine Philanthropy Foundation and other organizations, organized a “Warming the Later Years” group birthday party for the 40 seniors whose birthdays are in June. On the day of the event, the seniors arrived despite the scorching heat, accompanied by the volunteers, who protected and supported them, acting as the cool wind on such a hot day. The young volunteers, led by their parents, gave the seniors colorful balloons and kind wishes.
With the kind voice of the emcee, the birthday party began. The seniors enjoyed performances and cake. During the event, the seniors also shared their feelings, sharing the joy that comes with celebrating their birthday.

Longwan Home: June Project Tracking  

1/5/2016

 
Longwan Caring Home is located in Dahua County, which was listed as one of the poorest counties in Guangxi Province. Longwan Caring Home is a big family consisting of orphans, single parents, and abandoned children. The normal expense of the Home is sustained by plantation, breeding, and small business.
 
Going into June, the South is already getting very hot. In June, the South also happens to have lots of rain and floods. Dahua County experienced the worst rainstorm in a hundred years while the Longwan Loving Home was hit by disease. Both children and adults could not resist the germs that took over their bodies. Even though we encountered unforeseeable difficulties, our hearts are still together, and Home still received support and help.
 
In June, we attended the parent meetings for Home’s first to sixth graders enrolled in Longma Elementary School. These are the Home’s sixth graders. On July 2nd, they will be taking the Sixth Grade Exit Exam. We hope they will do well!
  
The 2015 (fourth annual) “Outdoor Cleaning Day” is a large-scale outdoor nonprofit environmental protection event that will start simultaneously in forty-six prefectures located in sixteen provinces, cities, and territories. Our Longwan Loving Home has participated in “Outdoor Cleaning Day” for three years in a row. From cleaning our small home, we then swept every little road in our village. During each year’s event, the children were always excited and worked hard with their cleaning tools.
  
The goal of the Outdoor Cleaning Day is to call every to pick up their “lost civilization” and remind people about having a green, environmentally friendly mindset and a healthy lifestyle through having volunteers clean the public spaces, a simple, easy to complete environmental protection activity. Through the event, more citizens will understand and care about the environment and protect it together with the ultimate goal of reaching a state of harmonious coexistence between man and nature.
