In a group of photos recently taken at Dingxi, we spotted our darling Danny modeling his festive red jacket, hanging out with the babies and peering at a friend’s new wheelchair. It reminded us that Danny is still waiting for a family to bring him home, and we wanted to share these cute photos and update our readers on his progress.

Big news in Dingxi…Danny is potty-trained! Most parents are understandably thrilled by this development. However, since Danny is still waiting for his family to choose him, we thought we’d share this news with our readers so they could cheer him on. Way to go, Danny! From that adorable little smirk on his face, Danny looks pretty pleased with himself as well.

My name is Danny. I am just two years old, am happy, and am loving life…despite the serious face I’m trying to put on for the camera!
I also enjoy an occasional treat from a visitor from LWB’s Nutrition Program. Snacks really make me happy, and I also love to visit the orphanage director’s office to see if he has left any on the table.

“…Good timber does not grow with ease,
The stronger wind,
The stronger trees,
The further sky,
The greater length.
The more storm,
The more strength…” ~Douglas Malloch~
There are times when humans resemble trees….the more difficult their circumstances, the harder they work to achieve the height of success.

Even though several of the children there are afflicted with cerebral palsy, there weren’t trained staff members to help these children.

Our China Nutrition Director, Cindy, was able to visit the Dingxi orphanage for the first time recently. Dingxi is in a remote, poor area of China, an hour and half from the city of Lanzhou. Steed, our Dingxi Nutrition Manager, joined Cindy on the visit.
The children at Dingxi SWI are warm, dry and comfortable (and look pretty darn good in their new digs), thanks to some generous LWB sponsors.
