Compassionate Chloe

Arlene Howard, our Foster Care Program Director, has worked closely with the Lu’An foster care program in Anhui Province, for the past three years.

When the foster care manager visits, Chloe is always smiling, and she has become a cherished member of her local neighborhood. Over the years, Chloe has seen many of her friends leave the SWI for adoption. It makes you wonder how much she might hope to be one of those children who leaves with a family of her own.

John from Lu’An

John has been waiting for a family of his own for many years.  In 2005, he entered LWB’s Lu’An foster care program in Anhui province.

I’d like to introduce you to one of our newest nutrition program recipients. This is Brian, and he lives in Lu’An.

I have been looking at some of our special individual nutrition recipients from Lu’An and am happy to report on a couple of these children.

Lu’an Foster Care Program

LWB volunteer Arlene Howard travels from her home in the U.K. twice a year to Lu’an, Anhui to visit the foster care children in the program there that she coordinates. She is a regular Mary Poppins to the children because she brings suitcases filled with toys and treats.
