Mifan Mama Nanjing

After helping to organize a very successful volunteering event at the office where we helped pack up Boxes of Love to bring a smile to orphans all across China during the holiday season, we wanted to help distribute some of these decorated boxes - filled with biscuits, treats, and a small toy.  Thanks to donations from my family and friends, we took a trip to Nanjing w/ 360 boxes to visit two orphanages.  Our last stop was Helen's House of Hope which operates a boarding kindergarten for deaf children whose parents are migrant workers.  They essentially get to see their parents once a year for a week during Chinese New Year.  The kids were so adorable and seeing their bright smiling faces made the round-trip 9 hour bus ride more than worth it.  For more pictures from the trip click here.
