From August 11 to 13, CCAA held the 11th to 13th sessions of “Hope Journey” Camp in Shanghai. Children’s Hope International and A Helping Hand Adoption Agency from America and Asociacion Para El Cuidado De La Infancia from Spain sponsored the Camp. About 100 children from Shanghai Children’s Welfare Institution participated in the Camp.

The contents of the Camp remained the same, while the duration of each camp was reduced to one day. Although time was short, our children grasped the very opportunity to show their real talent confidently and happily, and at the same time expressed their strong desire to have a home. Their excellent performance moved all people present and especially impressed the foreign social workers.

With the joint effort of workers from CCAA, Shanghai Children’s Welfare Institution and the foreign adoption agencies, the camp was a total success. Up to now, about 170 children from Shanghai Children’s Welfare Institution participated in the CCAA “Hope Journey” Camp.

All the camps in Shanghai of 2009 “Hope Journey” are now finished.
