IT'S A GIRL!!!!!!  

Please welcome the newest resident of Eagles Wings 5. I don't share names and birthdates, so let's just call her princess and say that she is nine months old. Her special need is congenital small eyes. She has limited vision, but she is not blind. She will benefit greatly from the therapy of our ayi trained by Bethel Foundation in Beijing as well as the nutrition, holding and playtime that she will get in Eagles Wings 5.

She is used to the still and quiet of an orphanage baby ward so the busy-ness of Eagles Wings 5 was a little overwhelming today, but I am sure in a few days she will begin to enjoy all the new sounds and smells and touch.







Would you please consider sponsoring our little princess? She needs  several sponsors to help us provide the food, clothing and special care that she needs. We supply the love for free.

One Less!

Today this adorable little boy met his very own mama. He came to Eagles Wings in August of 2010 when some lovely ladies from Australia found him neglected due to superstitions about his skin condition. He soon caught up and blossomed into the charmer (and ring leader!) that we have come to love.

Congratulations to the happy family! Gideon, we will miss you!!

Who Needs Words?

Happy Friday from Eagles Wings!

Happy Birthday!

It was a birthday kind of weekend. Yesterday we celebrated Shaelyn turning 8...

 Today we celebrated Charlie turning 4!

We all had a lot of fun as I think you can see. I really tried to enjoy every minute because next year both Shaelyn and Charlie will be celebrating with their own families far away. What more could a child wish for?

With a thankful heart,

Donna
Director, Eagles Wings

Gee, we love these children of God who bless us and our kids with hard work and unconditional love.

Cleft Surgeries!

I am so excited to announce that two of our precious children will be receiving much-needed cleft surgeries in mid-April. Abby and Timmy have been accepted by Love Without Boundaries for their next Cleft Exchange Trip here in Henan province. Abby will have her lip repaired to make eating easier. Timmy will have his palate closed to improve his speech. We are thankful that these kids will get their surgeries from extremely skilled doctors and that it will be nearby so they do not need to travel very far before or after their surgery.

If you would like to help, please go to LWB Cleft Exchange to make a donation. In the special note box, please put "Eagles Wings children". This will ensure that the donation is designated for Abby and Timmy.







Thank you to Love Without Boundaries for all the work they do for the special needs children of China and to the generous supporters of Eagles Wings who enable us to do our part.
