Hu Qun Yin also volunteers at the Jiujiang Orphanage.  Her tenderness in caring for the children exemplifies everything that a Hugging Granny should be.  We're very thankful to have this wonderful woman as a care-giver for the children there.

Cao Mu Lian volunteers as a Hugging Granny in the orphanage in Jiujiang, in the Jiangxi province of China.

Conditions for the children are improving every day as she brings her sunny smile to work. 

Zhang Shui Zhu keeps the infants and toddlers busy with her exuberant good humor, clapping hands and games.

She's a tremendous asset to the orphanage in Jiujiang. 

Huang Yin Di works very hard every day in the Jiujiang Orphanage.  Her sense of humor gets her through the tougher days, as she provides medical attention and teachers cognitive skills to the children.

Every day is brighter for the kids with Huang Yin Di there.

Amity Hugging Grannies continue to work hard every day, providing medical care, nurturing and a sense of family to children who would otherwise go without the attention they so richly deserve.  Cognitive and motor skills improve daily with their help. 

Everybody gets their share of hugs and attention, thanks to Amity Grannies in Jiujiang.  They even bring the babies to meetings to ensure that no-one gets left out.

Amity Hugging Grannies are professionals, but just like moms everywhere, they're not afraid of a little hard work. 

Grandma Liu tidies up the supply room in Yichun.  Whenever the Grannies find a spare moment, they pitch in and do whatever needs to be done in the orphanage.

Amity Hugging Granny Guo Mei Zhen is retiring for a second time.

Her second career as a Granny brought much joy and hope to this orphanage.  She will be dearly missed. 

Three new Grannies started to work at Shangrao in July, 2001: 

Xu Jin Xian - 1949, retired worker of  Shangrao Orphanage

Yu Jian Xiu - 1955,  retired worker

Zheng Xing Hua - 1946, retired nurse

Amity Hugging Grannies began work in July at this orphanage and the children are loving the extra attention and care that they're being given.

Nurse Li Jing began work in 2002 at the Shangrao orphanage.  She's a great asset in helping with the disabled kids.

Nurse Zhu He Juan began work as an Amity Hugging Granny/Nurse in 2002.

Zhou Mei Zhen - 1967, worker

She Hong Ying - 1968, worker

Wen Li Li - 1945,  retired teacher

Amity Hugging Grannies began work in August at this orphanage.   They love children and became dutiful Grannies once they were given the chance.  Glad they're here!

Ao Gen Ying - 1943, retired head nurse

Zhu Ai Gin - 1971, worker

The staff members in the orphanages love the children, but resources are limited.  Now that the Grannies are there, things are changing.  Instead of being lined up against the wall sitting in their potty chair all day long they are up marching around the room and doing morning exercises.

We can always use more Hugging Grannies!  They allow us to help the largest number of children, using minimum resources.

Currently, we're sponsoring 53 Hugging Grannies.  We hope to raise funds to continue these sponsorships.
