**********************UPDATE****************
We are happy to announce that Isabella was transferred to Bethel Orphanage this past week on Wednesday. It is reported that Isabella did a wonderful job with the transfer:
"She is fine. For now she is going to stay with the same Ayi and she will take the time to familiarize herself with the orphanage and her house".

Meet Isabella!
Isabella is a sweet little four year old girl who has been in our Gracie’s Room Program since August 2008. Isabella will be moving in April to Bethel Orphanage, for the blind, but we need your help to make this move as smooth as possible. Bethel is the first and only dedicated organization targeting the Chinese blind and orphan population.
When Isabella first entered Gracie’s Room at 1.5 years old, she couldn’t sit up on her own, but she was able to crawl and also roll over. Five months after entering Gracie’s Room, Isabella was now able to sit up on her own. She loved to be held in her nannies arms and when she crawled along, she would raised her head up and her nannies nicknamed “little snail”.
Isabella loves to be around people and at almost 3 years old, she started to learn how to walk. She feels safe when she hears her nannies voice, and she loves to hear music and often taps her feet and hands to the beat. When she turned 3.5 she started to walk on her own while guided. She was now able to balance her body. She also started making simple conversations.
Isabella is now 4 years old and is very audible, she is able to recognize nannies walking by. The nannies feel she is musically gifted and she sings along to songs.
Bethel Orphanage was founded in 2003 and takes care of only visually impaired orphans. They strive to give them a family atmosphere. It also runs a foster care program (1 caretaker to 3 children) as well as an educational program, where Isabella will not only learn oral English, French and Chinese, but also Braille, daily living skills, mobility, and even piano. The nannies take care of their daily routines, and the teachers are responsible for their education.
Although Isabella will not be in Gracie’s Room any longer, DJ Kids would like to help Bethel with the cost of caring for her. Please help us help her!
In Gracie’s Room we have given Isabella a wonderful start, but she now needs to move on to be able to fufill her potential!
She should be able to feel the grass under her toes and a piano at her fingertips.
We need to raise $5,472 to help sponsor Isabella at Bethel! Please make your tax deductible donation to help us care for Isabella. Your contribution will change her life! Thank you! Please help spread the word to others and have them visit our page to help Isabella too!
