![]() Compassion Nayong Public Welfare is based on Nayong, a poverty-stricken area in Guizhou Province. Taking the network as the platform, it carries out various public welfare activities to aid education. 13 years ago, Zhen Zhen’s mother married Zhen Zhen’s father with a boy. In this recombined family, Zhen Zhen’s mother gave birth to 3 girls. Zhen Zhen is 14, Mei Mei is 12 and the youngest, Hui Hui, is 10, but cannot walk normally. She has not attended school. Happy life did not last long. The family found Hui Hui could not walk as her contemporaries. She suffered from serious back ache. The family was covered with sadness. Misfortunes never came singly. 4 years ago, Zhen Zhen’s father was diagnosed terminal stage of cancer. He died 6 months later, leaving his wife and 4 children with heavy medical debts (over 10,000RMB). ![]() Compassion Nayong Public Welfare is based on Nayong, a poverty-stricken area in Guizhou Province.

Her name is Le Er. The family of 4 suffer from different diseases. The poor family fell into desperation. Thanks to the support of TFish, treatment for Le Er became possible. I could not help sighing: a family cannot have happiness before the disease has been cured. According to the materials for Caring Children in Difficulty, I found most of the children were abandoned by the families due to major illness or parents’ illness. Some of the family were left with heavy debts, which led the poverty of the family. This is a girl named Xiao Qian. She is 9 and in grade 2. For half a hours staying in her family for the survey, she kept silent, standing aside and staring the social workers were writing. She was asked to take photos and she was listening to her fathers’ narration for the family situation without a word. She did not smile or showed any curious during the whole process. She seemed no interests in anything. ![]() Compassion Nayong Public Welfare is based in Nayong, a poverty-stricken area in Guizhou Province.

Weiwei is the first child we took in under Transparent Fish’s "Care for Children in Rural Areas" project. He is nine years old and is in second grade. His family’s difficulties are harder than that of other families we know. But fortunately, his mother is strong; the three siblings, although they have undergone many difficult living conditions, are still full of happiness and love under their mother's care. In March 2015, our volunteer Wang Yong visited the family for the first time. In his record, he wrote, "The difficult conditions are beyond what words can describe. They have no room to live in, and they now live in a simple tent with wooden sticks and bamboo structures with no tile. It is all covered with plastic. Where there is constant rain leaking through and no shade from the sun, this place cannot be considered home." After visiting them, we came to understand that Weiwei's father, who was suffering from jaundice and hepatitis, died in 2015, leaving his wife a sum of more than 30,000 RMB of debt and three young children. When the father was still alive, the family lived together with his uncles in several old wooden houses left by their ancestors. After his death, the old wooden house was occupied by the uncles who lived there; the orphans and the widow reluctantly moved out, with bamboo and plastic as a simple living shed now. They have been living in the shed for about a year and a half now. Adonai Child Rehabilitation is a Christian faith-based ministry in Kalaymyo, Myanmar that was established in May 2016. This ministry creates a place of rehabilitation for children and teenagers from various backgrounds like orphans, unwanted children, street children, and poor children. First of all we praise the Lord for His faithfulness to the Adonai orphans for His provision and His presence in our daily movements. And we also express our heartfelt gratitude to all our prayer partners locally and internationally. Special thanks goes to the organization Transparent Fish Fund for their love, prayers, and generous support. May God bless everyone who partners with us in prayer and sowing finances.
Sanitation AwarenessAn additional pilot sanitation awareness campaign was carried out at Yukunthor Primary School. Our TFish representative visited this school in our April 2016 trip and witnessed the hygiene class.
Little Red Scarf is in Lanzhou, Gansu province and provides financial support and encouragement to children suffering from congenital heart disease. In addition, they provide families with post-operative care and help the children sustain a healthy lifestyle.
Cuimei is four years old this year. She was wearing a beautiful skirt with a cute mushroom hair style when we saw her at the hospital. She was waiting in the hallway for admission into the hospital. Her father said, "My legs started trembling when I stepped into the hospital."
With the help of Little Red Scarf, Cuimei was admitted to the hospital. The tests results showed there was a ventricular septal defect of 4mm. This means an interventional surgery could be started and surgical risks are therefore reduced. However, Cuimei's parents still worry constantly about her because their two other children passed away because of congenital heart disease. Join us to brighten the spirits of children in need this Christmas. 'Tis the season for making others merry and bright. |
