Thankfully we just recieved word that Nolan's orphanage has power and water, and is in good shape despite the extremely cold weather.
Lorelei's orphanage however is another story. Here is the report we got from Half the Sky, (an organization that supports many Social Welfare Institutes). This area in south central China is simply not equipped to handle this type of weather as it is not common in this part of the country.
Hunan Province –Chenzhou has had no electricity or water for six days. They are relying on coal for heat and cooking. The supermarkets and banks are closed. Staff is using personal money for baby food, diapers, coal and water. Costs are rising due to shortages. They have a natural well which,thankfully, is not frozen. Even the older children are helping to fetchwater. They have perhaps six days of food remaining. The local government is overwhelmed by the disaster and is unable to help much.
IF you feel compelled to help in some way you may visit halfthesky.org for more information.
And of coarse, please pray for the situation to improve quickly.
