The Great Wall!

Author: Alice
Location: Mutianyu, China...The Great Wall and then China Care
Today we walked up the stairs to get to the Great Wall of China. The stairs weren't that bad, but when I got up there, I was feeling Sick. Same with Ally. Although, we didn't feel well, just being up there was amazing. We didn't stay up there for long and we felt much better when we got back down to the bottom. We rode down the long slide. It was so much fun going fast, except when there were slow people in front of us. We went back to the hotel to shower and rest until dinner. We went to the mexican place for dinner since it was Libby's birthday ( we did Little Italy last night for Brit's birthday). Everyone enjoyed it. We went to China Care for the night shift and helped put babies to sleep. I must say, today was an eventful day. However, unfortunately, a baby from Shannon's hospice, China Little Flower, passed away today. He was very sick and had numerous seizures throughout the day, everyday. We all bought Shannon a card, flowers, and some goodies.

LW China July 3rd Update

Great update from the Lifeworks China crew who are now back in Bejing after some great touring which comes on the end of some wonderful work with the orphans.

First Full Day at China Care and China Little Flower

Author: Ally
Location: Beijing
Today we spent our first official day at China Care. It was certainly different from the orphanage in Liming, but we all had a good time getting to know the infants, toddlers, and older children. I had the opportunity to teach English to children between the ages of 5-7 and 9-13 and play some soccer as well. We had an enjoyable evening at Brent's house filled with American food and Chinese history. To finish the night, we watched, "The Last Emperor."
