What does this charity do?
This is a pre and post operative residential home for orphaned babies undergoing surgery at Shanghai H C M C. Many of these babies have been given up by their parents as they require surgery in order for them to live normal lives. For instance, this may mean repairing a hole in a child’s heart or a hare lip, or correcting gastric or skeletal malformations. Once they have surgery they can live full lives again.

What are they doing with the 2016 donation from Brits Abroad?
Gansu Project: the Brits Abroad donation of RMB 15,840 will cover the costs of sending 2 Stepping Stones volunteer teachers to Gansu province to teach English to female university students for two weeks in summer 2016. Stepping Stones will carry this out in partnership with Educating Girls in Rural China which already supports many women in getting a high school and university education in rural China.
Education Girls in Rural China supports the university education of young women in rural China. It has found these women do not succeed as well as their urban counterparts, mainly due to their poor level of English. This Stepping Stones project will highlight the importance and value of learning English which, in turn, will improve the students’ work and life opportunities within China.
