Farewell to a Legacy of Love: LWB’s China Healing Home

Posted on April 2, 2024

Problems and solutions. So much of what we at LWB have done over the years has come about as a result of identifying a problem and finding a solution. This is exactly how our China Healing Homes program came to be 18 years ago, when our foundation was just a few years old. The Story […]

2,000 Solar Lights Delivered in Guatemala

Posted on February 15, 2024

Can you imagine a life in which each evening, as the sun goes down, you and your family are plunged into total darkness? This is the reality for 775 million impoverished people around the world who live without power, including families living in the municipality of Poptún, Petén in Guatemala. In December of 2023, LWB […]

Egg-cellent! A Chicken Delivery in Guatemala

Posted on January 11, 2024

Just recently, LWB was happy to be able to partner with a Guatemalan charity called Tob’anik K’iche on a very special project. Our aim was to help to provide essential nutrition to the children in Lemoa, an impoverished village in rural Guatemala. Many of the children in this community are malnourished, coming from impoverished families with […]

20 Years of Hope: Emily

Posted on December 14, 2023

While visiting an orphanage in southern China in 2021, LWB’s CEO and founder Amy Eldridge encountered an unforgettable 16-month old girl we called Emily. In her book, “The Heart of Community,” Amy writes, She was lying flat on her back in an old metal crib, with a blanket covering her body. She was incredibly tiny. […]

20 Years of Hope: Mason

Posted on November 22, 2023

In 2019, Mason was born with Down syndrome, and as sometimes is the case with children having this condition, he also had a heart defect. We were truly grateful that his orphanage director reached out to us for medical assistance. Baby Mason joined us in our China Healing Home when he was almost six months […]

20 Years of Hope: Ting

Posted on November 9, 2023

In 2018, we first met Ting as a participant in our Life Skills Camp in Beijing, China. Our Life Skills Program focuses on older children who will soon be “aging out” of orphanage care in China. At the age of 18, Ting joined other young people to receive lessons on personal finance, self-esteem, career counseling, […]

20 Years of Hope: Natasha

Posted on October 26, 2023

We first met 7-year-old Natasha and her two younger sisters in 2017 when they enrolled at our Rangsei Believe In Me school in Cambodia. After getting to know the family, we discovered that the girls had to travel a very long way through the Cambodian jungle each day in order to receive an education. What […]

20 Years of Hope: Ruth

Posted on September 28, 2023

A beautiful little girl came into this world in the summer of 2017 in a rural community in eastern China. Sadly, at just a few weeks old, she was abandoned into orphanage care — most likely because she had been born with a cleft lip and palate. Thankfully, the director at this baby’s orphanage had […]

Life Skills Camp for Vulnerable Teens

Posted on September 10, 2023

Pre-pandemic, LWB had a dynamic life skills program for children preparing to “age out” of institutional care in China. Hundreds of teens went through our camp program, coming together in Beijing to receive lessons on personal finance, self-esteem, career counseling, reproductive health, and so much more. In August, after a four-year hiatus, our Life Skills […]

20 Years of Hope: Bekah

Posted on August 24, 2023

In late 2012, LWB was contacted about a toddler girl with a complex set of heart issues. Her orphanage in China had originally hoped she could be adopted and that surgery could be delayed until that time, but her low oxygen levels and repeated bouts of pneumonia let them know that she couldn’t wait any […]
