When she was seven years old, Jia Yang Cuo’s parents, wishing to give a better life to her and her brother, moved out of Qinghai with hopes that their business – selling fruit – would provide the funds needed to allow their children a different life. This wasn’t a choice they wanted to make but they knew working outside their province in the north of Qinghai, one of the poorest provinces in China, would give them the best chance for a new future.
Devastatingly, her parents were in a car accident. Her mother passed away and her father returned to their province with disabilities. With her father unable to properly care for her and her brother and her grandfather being old and sickly, there was no one left to care for them and in early 2013 they were both moved to the Huangnan Children’s Home.
Yang Cuo is now 13 years old. She attends secondary school and is eager to learn and loves to ask questions to satisfy her curiosity. She is shy around strangers but very loving, outgoing and joyful with friends and staff at the children’s home. In fact, she’s quite the social butterfly, helping to keep peace in a home filled with so many children!
She is willing and eager to help the other children and our staff are overjoyed when they see how she has matured in recent years. She has grown in her independence and self-discipline; skills that will most surely help her as she grows up and pursues her dreams of doing well on her exams and attending university.
Only through your continued support and prayers can Christian Action serve and care for the many children like Yang Cuo living on the Tibetan Plateau in Qinghai, China.
