Believe in Me: Emma's Preschool

Emma lives in an orphanage in Fujian, China. She is sponsored through the incredible work of Love Without Boundaries (here is their website address: https://www.lovewithoutboundaries.com/index.cfm. This organization is doing amazing things to love the children living and waiting in orphanages in China. We cannot wait to be able to give back to them for the ways they helped Emma.

Love Without Boundaries helped build a new orphanage for the children of JinJiang, and started a school called, Believe In Me Preschool. I cannot put into words how it feels to be able to glimpse our daughter in these photos and see that she is receiving care and nurture, stimulation and learning. God's grace poured out for these sweet little kids.

Here is how LWB describes the school:

Jinjiang, a city in the beautiful province of Fujian , is located on the coast bordering the Taiwan Strait of the East China Sea . The school opened in January 2008 in the old orphanage. Happily, the children moved into the beautiful new building in June 2008. They have bright, cheery classrooms with a playroom and lots of new materials and supplies. There is a wonderful playground for the children to use to develop their large motor skills and plenty of class time for their academic development.

Our school has 3 classrooms to better meet the needs of the children. There is a preschool for the 2 year olds, a pre-kindergarten class, and a classroom for children with mild special needs that prevent them from attending the public school.

Our teachers have all had Montessori style training so there is much interaction between the teachers and the children. The children love to attend school in their beautiful classrooms where they have lessons and celebrations. We have seen so much progress this past year and look forward to a brighter future for these children.
