China - Part one

Ok, so there is so much to share about my incredible trip to China over the last two weeks, so I'm going to break up my "China blog" into sections. Starting with flying to Beijing. My group left July 15th and we flew through Newark and then another 13+ hours to Beijing. We arrived mid afternoon and went straight to Hope Healing Home http://www.hopefosterhome.com/about_us.htm

If you have a second, go to their website and read about the awesome work these teo ordinary people are doing in China.

This is the "Yurt" we stayed in while at Hope Healing Home.
As you can see, it was actually quite a neat place to stay. Even without air conditioning it was quite comfortable for 9 of us to sleep in.

The orphans that are at Hope Healing Home are children who have correctable deformities. This is where I found out it only costs $650 to correct a cleft palate.

More to come about my trip.......
