A GREEN PLACE LOCATED IN A DRY AREA. AN OASIS OF HOPE UNDERGROUND STREAMS - AQUIFERS, FEED EVERY OASIS. THE ROLE OF MANY OF US HAS CHANGED FROM PROVIDING A HOME TO PROVIDING AN AQUIFER - AN UNDERGROUND STREAM WHOSE INFLUENCE IS BARELY SEEN, BUT IT IS VERY POWERFUL. FROM THE SPONSORS TO THE LOCAL TEAM AND SPECIALISTS WHO SUPPORT AND THE LOCAL COMMUNITY WHO ENCOURAGE - THEY ARE ALL LINKS IN THE UNDERGROUND STREAM THAT IS MAKING LIFE SPRING UP IN THE DESERT. WE NEED TO KEEP THESE STREAMS STRONG, CLEAN, FRESH, OPEN, AND FLOWING STRONGLY. THERE HAS BEEN A LOT OF PRESSURE, BUT THE PRESSURE OF AN UNDERGROUND STREAM CONTRIBUTES TO ITS PURITY. THE VISION OF NEW DAY CHINA IS TO TRANSFORM THE LIVES OF ORPHANS WITH SPECIAL NEEDS. OUR STRATEGY TO ACCOMPLISHING THAT INVOLVES THREE KEY ROLES: "CARE-GIVERS ARE THE PEOPLE INTERACTING WITH THE CHILDREN ALL THE TIME AND THEIR IMPACT ON THE CHILDREN'S LIVES IS THE GREATEST. WE BELIEVE THAT, MORE THAN ANY OTHER PERSON IN THE CHILD'S LIFE, THE NANNY WHO CARES FOR THE CHILD CAN MAKE THE BIGGEST IMPACT. FOR THAT REASON, WE FOCUS ON USING LONG-TERM HANDS-ON TRAINING TO DEVELOP NANNIES WHO ARE EXCELLENT AT TAKING CARE OF CHILDREN WITH LONG-TERM NEEDS. "EXPERTS IN THE AREAS OF MEDICINE, THERAPY, NURSING, AND SPECIAL EDUCATION ARE ABLE TO GIVE INFORMATION AND TECHNIQUES TO NANNIES THAT ARE SPECIFIC TO THE KINDS OF CHILDREN THEY CARE FOR. NEW DAY CHINA DEPENDS ON A STRONG TEAM OF EXPERTS. "COACHES ARE A VITAL PART OF THE NEW DAY CHINA TEAM AND STRATEGY. THESE COACHES ARE SPECIFICALLY TRAINED NOT ONLY IN HOW TO CARE FOR CHILDREN WITH SPECIAL NEEDS, BUT IN HOW TO COACH CAREGIVERS ON AN ONGOING BASIS. THESE COACHES PROVIDE A KEY LINK BETWEEN THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE EXPERTS AND THE CAREGIVERS, BECAUSE THE COACHES HELP THE CAREGIVERS CONSISTENTLY AND ACCURATELY IMPLEMENT THE GUIDANCE AND TRAINING PROVIDED BY THE EXPERTS IN EACH SUBJECT AREA. 2.FOSTER FAMILIES - 14 CHILDREN FOSTER FAMILIES IN 2023 CONTINUED. DUE TO POLICY CHANGES IN CHINA, CHILDREN IN OUR FOSTER CARE HAD TO RETURN TO THEIR RESPECTIVE ORPHANAGES. THEREFORE, AS CHILDREN WERE ADOPTED, WE DID NOT PLACE NEW CHILDREN INTO FAMILIES BUT GRADUALLY REDUCED THE NUMBER OF CHILDREN IN FOSTER FAMILIES, UNTIL ALL THE REMAINING CHILDREN WERE RETURNED TO THEIR ORPHANAGES AS THE REQUIREMENT OF THE CENTRAL CHINESE GOVERNMENT. WE HAVE BEEN GIVEN PERMISSION TO BE ONE OF 18 ORPHANAGES NATIONWIDE ALLOWED TO PLACE CHILDREN IN FOSTER FAMILIES. WITH NO EXPERIENCE AND LIMITED RESOURCES, THEY ASKED FOR OUR HELP. THEY ASKED FOR HELP IN 4 WAYS. "THEY HAVE NEVER HAD FOSTER FAMILIES SO ARE ASKING FOR HELP IN SETTING UP THE PROGRAM. "THEY HAVE 94 CHILDREN WHO ARE ELIGIBLE TO BE PLACED IN A FOSTER FAMILY BUT DO NOT HAVE ENOUGH FUNDS TO PLACE EACH CHILD. "THEY NEED HELP WITH THE SALARIES OF THE STAFF THAT WILL RUN THIS PROJECT.

UNTREATED, PKU CAN LEAD TO INTELLECTUAL DISABILITY, SEIZURES, BEHAVIORAL PROBLEMS, AND MENTAL DISORDERS. VISION TO PROVIDE THE CHILDREN DIAGNOSED WITH PKU AN OPPORTUNITY TO REACH THEIR FULL POTENTIAL. LIVING A HAPPY AND FULFILLED LIFE. STRATEGY "WE PROVIDE ALL THE FORMULA AND SPECIAL RICE AND FLOUR NEEDED FOR THEIR SPECIAL DIETS. "WE TRAIN THEIR STAFF ON THE SPECIAL DIET THAT IS NEEDED. "WE FACILITATE WEEKLY BLOOD TESTS BEING SENT TO A SPECIALIST IN BEIJING TO MEASURE THE LEVELS OF PHENYLALANINE IN THE CHILDREN'S BLOOD.

NEW DAY TRAINS ORPHANAGE STAFF TO TRACK AND ASSESS EACH CHILD'S DEVELOPMENT, PROVIDING THEM WITH TOOLS TO BE ABLE TO FACILITATE EACH CHILD REACHING THEIR FULL POTENTIAL. "CHILD DISCIPLINE: CHILDREN ARE A BLANK SLATE, WHAT IS BEING WRITTEN ON THAT SLATE. WE PROVIDE TRAINING TO ORPHANAGE STAFF TO HELP THEM REALIZE THE IMPORTANCE OF TRAINING A CHILD'S HEART AND NOT JUST THEIR OUTWARD BEHAVIOR. "DATABASE USAGE: KEEPING TRACK OF MANY CHILDREN AND ALL ASPECTS OF THEIR LIFE IS VERY TIME-CONSUMING. WE PROVIDE TRAINING ON HOW TO USE A DATABASE THAT WE DEVELOPED TO MAKE THIS A MUCH EASIER PROCESS. "BABY CARE 101: LEARNING HOW TO CARE FOR A SMALL CHILD CAN BE CHALLENGING. WE PROVIDE BASIC TRAINING FROM HOW TO BURP, CHANGING A DIAPER, MAKING SCHEDULES TO BONDING AND CALMING A CHILD. "FOSTER FAMILY TRAINING: NO FACILITY, NO MATTER HOW GOOD IT IS, CAN TAKE THE PLACE OF FAMILY. WE TRAIN FOSTER FAMILIES IN HOW TO SHARE THEIR LOVE AND LIFE WITH A CHILD THAT WILL HELP DEVELOP PERMANENCY IN THEM THAT WILL LAST A LIFETIME. "PKU TRAINING: CARING FOR A CHILD WITH PKU IS VERY CHALLENGING AND TIME CONSUMING. WE PROVIDE THE TRAINING AND TOOLS NECESSARY TO PROVIDE THESE CHILDREN WITH THE BEST CARE POSSIBLE. 5.EMERALD FOSTER FAMILY PROJECT - 1 CHILD FOSTER FAMILIES WHAT IS FAMILY? IT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT INFLUENCE IN A CHILD'S LIFE. CHILDREN LIVING IN FAMILIES DO BETTER PHYSICALLY, EMOTIONALLY AND ACADEMICALLY. CHILDREN THRIVE WHEN THEY FEEL THEY BELONG AND FROM THE AFFECTION THAT COMES FROM CARING AND SUPPORTIVE FAMILIES. THE EARLIER A CHILD CAN BE PART OF A FAMILY, THE MORE NOTICEABLE AND LONGER-LASTING THE EFFECTS. KNOWING THIS, IT WAS DEVASTATING SEEING CHILDREN, IN 2018 AND 2019, IN A NATIONWIDE INITIATIVE BEING TAKEN OUT OF FAMILIES AND RETURNED TO INSTITUTIONS. A COUPLE OF YEARS LATER THINGS CHANGED AND IN AUGUST 2021 WE WERE APPROACHED BY AN ORPHANAGE WE HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH FOR YEARS. THEY ASKED FOR HELP IN STARTING A FOSTER FAMILY PROJECT. A COUPLE OF MONTHS LATER WE WERE ABLE TO PLACE FIVE CHILDREN IN FAMILIES.WE LOOK FORWARD TO BEING ABLE TO GIVE MORE CHILDREN THE BENEFIT OF LIVING IN A FAMILY. 6.ELEOS PROJECT - 50 CHILDREN ALL OF US HAVE HEARD STORIES OF PEOPLE IN DIFFICULT SITUATIONS. WHAT THEY HAVE GONE THROUGH MAKES OUR HEARTS CRY WONDERING HOW THEY HAVE BEEN ABLE TO SURVIVE AND STAY POSITIVE. SUCH IS THE CASE WITH THE CHILDREN IN OUR ELEOS PROJECT. IN THEIR DIFFICULT SITUATIONS WE WANT THEM TO KNOW THEY ARE NOT LEFT ALONE TO FACE HARDSHIP. WE WANT THEM TO KNOW THERE IS HOPE.
