Continence and stoma care for China orphan in Hong Kong

The world is designed for brotherhood- to help and be helped. Man is not intended to live in isolation, cut off from others and their needs. We live together within the same tapestry. 

A China orphan outreach programme began in 2005 in HK. It was initiated by a group of volunteer specialists in HK with intent to reaching out to orphaned young children in China who required medical care and support for serious and complicated conditions. Our volunteer specialists have expertise in the fields of nurosurgery, orthopaedics, paediatrics, paediatric surgery, urologist, plastic surgery, anaesthesia and enterostomal therapist (ET).  

Under the programme, medical professionals and specialist in HK and China work with orphanages and hospital on a voluntary and free basis. It has radically changed the lives of many and has also been a spritually rewarding experience for the us.

Some orphans were born with bladder extrophy, cloaca extrophy, imperforate anus, spinal bifida. I trained to be an ET nurse with a world-renowned expert. I had the skill; the orphans had the needs. The caring skill I was blessed with was able to help the orphans' needs. We could not change their life, they remain orphans; but we became friends. They will be my lifelong mentor.

Some are smart, strong or rich; others are weak, ordinary or poor. Those we have must give generously and responsibly, while those have not should receive gladly and graciously. These seemingly opposite roles are interchangeable in various facets of life, circumstances and time. This is the path I have found to achieving fairness in a world that can otherwise seem unfair.

"I will not leave you as orphans. I will come to you" Jn 14:18
