Look at his big brown eyes. Please pray that his long awaited family will find him soon.







I also want to post another young man, whose name is David.

He has an updated bio and a description from somebody who met him. Here is what they said.


Update March 2014:
This kid is AWESOME!!!! He seriously has no business in a level III/IV institution. His CP is so mild- he walked around, did all kinds of stuff. He’s smart and funny, he and my translator talked for about 15 minutes and she said he is a “very normal child and good at conversation.” He was very “appropriate”- I don’t know another way to say it- he was quiet and looked at us like “who are these strangers?” and looked to the nannies for approval, and only then spoke to us. My English (and butchered attempts at Russian) made him start to grin but he quickly got it under control and didn’t outright laugh at me (which makes him more polite than the majority of folks lol!) and he was very respectful. I LOVE this kid- he needs a family immediately- someone to get him in school and get some botox in that left leg and get those legs stretched so he can walk easier. He would be an awesome addition to a family!


Please pray that David will find his family soon.

I am sorry there was such a large gap between posts. My family has been pretty sick these past two weeks. But we are much better, thanks to God.


Today I was think over who I should post when I came across the post that was just written on No Hands But Ours about several children with albinism.  Tayte is there although he is list as Oscar.

Fatherless Friday

There are many boy with albinism who are waiting for a family of their own. Today I want to share

one little energetic boy whose name is Tayte.

  His profile on Reece's Rainbow says Tayte is a smart and easy going boy. He attends kindergarten where he gets along well with other children. He can feed himself, dress himself and go to the restroom by himself. He picks up toys, sets the table, and is able to do some housework.
He takes the initiative to greet people who he knows and have simple conversation with them. He meets someone and will ask them if they have finished their days work, showing concern for other person.
Because of his vision, he struggles with pictures, but he is a organizer of other kids to teach them the games he learns at school. He will play with those he is unfamiliar with if introduced to them and told to play together. He likes to sit on adults lap and cuddle with caretaker.
He can go up and downstairs. Going down is a bit slow as he is afraid he would fall. He can run very fast and adjust his speed according to the circumstances. He likes to play toys with wheels and music. He especially loves to explore the environment.


His grant is $ 1,711.89


Please pray that he will not have to wait long for his family.

It  took a while but I finally decided on March's orphan category. This month I have decide I will post about children who are at risk of aging out because there are so many on the waiting list and a few precious children who age out this month. Today there are to older boys that I want to post. They are both aging out in august, diagnosed with albinism, featured on Reece's Rainbow, and both have just received a huge donation to put them up to 10,000 dollars. These boys have almost half of their adoption paid for with this grant.

so here are the boys:

Wesley

He suffers from vision loss due to albinism. His profile on Reece's Rainbow says: "Wesley was abandoned when he was 6 years old and he has been on the list since 2008. He has a gentle temperament, is polite and sensible, and gets along well with others. He likes to play games with kids outdoors. He likes watching cartoons, listening to stories with peers, playing games with kids outdoors, likes playing balls and toy cars best.   He especially prefers toys that make sounds."

Shane

Here's what his profile says about him "Shane is a very extroverted boy, he is active, outgoing, [speaks fluently], and he can talk freely before strangers. He likes to sing songs, and he often sings and dances before adults. His singing is beautiful.  He likes to play badminton, Fly Chess and car toys.  He has dreamed since he was young to be a bus driver to serve the passengers.  He is easy going, and he never breaks into temper without reason, so he often has a smile, and he often helps do something in his ability actively, like clean the floor and desk and fold the clothes and so on."

The boy I am posting about today is set to age out this year. His name is Don Michael, he is blind, and also lives at Bethel. He has a small fund on Reece's Rainbow. Michael is very talented. As you can see from these pictures he can jump rope and play an instrument. Please pray that this boy finds a wonderful family. So many of the cute little kids are being adopted from Bethel I cannot imagine how that hurts a child's esteem and hope for a family when it seems no one will ever come for them.

here is a close up

Michael is the one standing

I am going back and posting this little boy because I had him on my list to post but unfortunately I had a tough weekend and was not able to post it on time.


This little boy is as adorable as Gabe. His name is Simon, he is visually impaired, and lives at Bethel. Gabe and Simon are the same age. There is not as many pictures or information about him as Gabe but all he needs is one picture to speak a thousand words about precious he is.

Simon :)

This kid always seems to be moving :)
I think that is why the little girl put her hand on his head in the next photo.

My favorite color is blue so even though this is not really good picture of him I could not resist because he looks good in blue.

This week I am posting about another little boy, Greg, who lives in the same place as Gabe. He also had cancer of the eye and is currently receiving chemotherapy. Unlike Gabe he is only featured on Bethel's website and facebook.


He recently caught the chicken pox and was in the hospital because of a reaction to the virus. This boy definitely needs some prayers that this last treatment of chemotherapy will wipeout his cancer.


I am posting the picture of him that is on the website because even though it is slightly older, it is a better picture of him and the hair he will have again after the chemotherapy.

Advocating for Orphans

I want to introduce a precious little boy to you. His English name is Gabe and his Chinese name is Gui Gui. This adorable little boy is completely blind because he had cancer of the eye. He is in a special program, which is called Bethel, for blind children and is very capable of preforming daily activities on his own. This organization has a blog and a facebook page that they update regularly. They do a wonderful job taking pictures and videos of their children.  

The website has many pictures of their blind children doing everyday activities such as swimming, running and riding bikes. It is almost unbelievable what some of these kids are cable of, especially for me because my little brother is blind but he is also mentally handicapped. Sadly, my brother is not cable of any of those activities, but I am amazed at what these kids can do.

 

Pictures of Gabe can be found on Bethel’s blog, facebook page, Reece’s Rainbow, and on No Hands but Ours. Personally, I love the picture of him on No Hands But Ours in a big fluffy robe on Pajama Day.

On Reece's Rainbow they allow you to choose a child to advocate for. I sent an e-mail last week and I am officially his advocate on Reece's Rainbow.
