100 Misfortune in ShangShui County,
Henan Province
by Jill Ji
Site Visit from October 13 to October 19, 2006
To change the world, one village at a time!
Summary
From October 13 to October 19, I gave out living allowance to 111 children and visited 43 new families in TangZhuang Town, HuaHe Town, ChengGuan Town and LianJi Town.
Last time in September when I visited Shangshui, I went to the villages that near the county and with good road conditions, this time, I visited some remote villages, because of bad road conditions, humanitarian aids seldom go there and the living conditions in those villages are even worse.
Numerous orphans that are NOT from AIDS families in ShangShui, are now struggling for living helplessly.
Stories of Orphans in ShangShui:
The 43 newly visited family stories are similar: the middle generation have missed, are missing and will be missed soon, leaving the old and the young living under the extreme poverty line. It is estimated that there are more than 200 such orphans in ShangShui County. Without timely humanitarian aids, these children will drop out of school in very young age and will even lose their chances to survive in this world. We need more supports and efforts for the orphans in ShangShui County, Henan Province. To change the world, one village at a time !
