Reed Flute Cave

Yesterday we went to the reed flute cave after lunch. A cave is a nice place to be on a 95 degree day with maximum humidity! The colored lighting they use makes it look very surreal inside. Even with regular light it is like being in a magical land inside the mountain. One inch of stalagmite takes 800 years to grow. This cave is VERY old. It had an underground River flowing through it until the karst mountains pushed up and the water flowed out.

Above are some links related to where Neela has been living up until she joined our family.

Half the Sky (now One Sky) foundation has done a lot of great things to educate caregivers, support children's programs, and in general, greatly improve the lives for orphaned children living in institutional settings. Half the Sky, along with Holt International, has sponsored the family village program for children with special needs. Neela had been living with a family in this program.

Also, check out this amazing book, Wish You Happy Forever, written by Jenny Bowen, founder of Half the Sky. She set out to provide an opportunity for loving and nurturing care for all orphans in China and she did it! Thank you, Jenny, for your role in providing Neela's loving care.

A Child's Right is an organization that came into the Nanchang Social Welfare Institute in May of 2007 and improved the water quality. 90% of the drinking water in China was not healthy to drink at that time.
