A Word From the President

Dear Donors,

It is with great excitement that

we launch our new Life-Changer

quarterly newsletter!

“CCAI is great at doing great

things but is not good at telling

all the wonderful life-changing

stories.” I hear this from our

supporters once in a while, and I

think it has its validity. Life-

Changer is the response to this

suggestion.

From feeding, nursing, healing,

and educating orphans of all ages,

to leadership development,

caregiver training, foster care

program expansion, and

modeling through Lily Orphan

Care Centers, CCAI’s passionate

and faithful financial contributors

like you are making a positive

difference on a daily basis!

Our Charity Director, Xia Zhong (below, second from

right), traveled to Henan, China this February to assess

the LOCC’s current needs. She went to six different

orphanages and Lily Orphan Care Centers in five

different cities. The last time she went to China was in

the fall where she oversaw the latest updates/

renovations for the different LOCC locations.

Some of these included a new kitchen and new

rooms at Zheng Zhou (pg. 2) and a new

playroom at the Nan Yang LOCC as seen in the

picture above. Thanks to partners like you, we

are able to provide a better environment for the

children still in the orphanages!

water to drink.

Thank you!
