'Two Mites' for Children in China

"Dear, I am old and I don't have much. But I know these poor orphans need help and so I will give all I can..." and with that she took some money from her pocket. There was no hesitation and she had no regrets. After she heard about the Zaduo Orphans School in QingHai she decided to help. Among all visitors that day, this elderly lady left us with a deep impression of her generosity.

She had joined visitors from different social classes and various backgrounds, such as professionals, college students, parents with kids, and other elderly from the Adventist Senior Center. December 3, 2006, Sam Yuk Adventist College held a carnival at Clear Water bay campus in Hong Kong. There were over 2,000 entrances. At the carnival, more than 40 booths served food, held games and charity sales that were organized by different organizations. ADRA's promotional booth was located in the new wing of the college. ADRA's simple booth displayed several current projects with colorful pictures. There was also a donation box, leaflets and a television showing our project videos.

Regardless of where they were from, the people all paid full attention to our introduction of ADRA's sustainable projects. We introduced the Orphans school in Zaduo, QingHai, the Animal Bank in Inner Mongolia and Micro- Finance projects.

In fact, the action of the old lady illustrated ADRA's mission and attitude towards the poor. Although our resources are limited, it does not stop our compassion to serve the poor with all we can. Our core vision is to serve the least of our brothers. ADRA raised HK $ 12,052 in the above event. All donations will be transferred to the Zaduo Orphans School in QingHai for 2007 project expenses.
