I wanted to say thank you again for giving me the opportunity to volunteer at the China Care Home. I left Beijing yesterday, and I thought you might be interested to know that I ran into someone very special at the train station. Sitting right in front of the restaurant where I had finished eating dinner was CuiLing with a nanny on her way home. CuiLing was a little girl I spent a lot of time with at the home. We had fun reading and taking pictures together, both activities she really enjoys. At the train station her nanny told me she had just finished her surgery for hydrocephalus and was ready to leave the Home. It really helped me to see the full circle of what China Care and Half the Sky do for the kids. I saw her when she first arrived at the Home, and I saw her as she was leaving Beijing.
