Fu Fu and Zhou Zhou
January 24, 2007
AAI has the possibility of referring two special waiting girls, ages 9 and 12, from the Hunan Province of China. We had the opportunity of meeting these girls while we were in China participating in a work project for their orphanage in October of 2006.
Zhou Zhou is 9 years old and has kyphoscoliosis. She is an active child despite her disability, and she is an extremely talented little artist. She is always willing to help others. Even though she is teased at school, she tries to see the best in people and help them in any way she can. She is an excellent student. She often stays after school to help teachers and clean the classroom. She has a positive impact on those around her, but she is in urgent need of surgery so she can lead a normal life.
Fu Fu is 12 years old and has cerebral palsy. Even though she is wheelchair bound, she exudes a spirit of optimism and kindness that touches all who meet her. Fu Fu cannot walk without the assistance of a walker. She can write, draw, and speak very articulately. She also loves to sing songs and recite poems. She is very respectful, generous, and considerate of others. She is now learning English.
