October 2009 What a Difference a Year Makes!
Last December, two-year-old Sylvia entered our Believe in Me school in Jinjiang. Sylvia had undergone surgery to repair a congenital heart problem. While she was now physically healthy, she remained significantly delayed in her language skills, socialization, and cognitive abilities. In her first assessment, her teacher reported that she "doesn't speak."
Fast forward ten months and Sylvia has blossomed in every way! Her teacher now reports that she is "more active and open than before" and loves speaking! She eagerly participates in school -- following directions, playing happily with her classmates and completing all her school work! She loves music and singing and confidently counts from 1 to 10.
We are thrilled with Sylvia's progress. All she needed was someone to believe in her and help coax out the bright and engaging child that was hiding inside of her.
