Movie Clips and Photo Albums
Photo Albums
Almost everyday someone at the Home of Hope is taking pictures. We have several of the older children who have become interested in photography so we just turn them loose when they have free time and they just take and take and take pictures. Thanks to digital photography there is no waste with this process and of course, some of the pictures are not usable.
In the development of each website update we attempt to select the pictures for the update that are the most meaningful and tell the best story to our viewers and supporters. Due to the limitation of space on the update page we rarely touch the volume of pictures available each month. Consequently we decided to develop this page so those interested in seeing more, can do so.
We use Adobe Flash in the production of some of the Photo Albums and Adobe Flash Player must be on the viewing computer to be able to see the pictures. Over time most people have already added Adobe Flash Player to their system. If your system does not have it you can download Adobe Flash Player here at no charge.
As of late we have started using YouTube as a source facility for our slide show presentations and video clips. This is due to the often “undependable” nature of the Internet service in China and for speed of access.

Movie Clips
Some of our movie clips are housed on YouTube for the sake of server storage space. You can go to the Next Towns Foundation – Home of Hope private channel and see thumbnails of the entire Home of Hope movie clip collection.
You can also watch individual movie clips as listed below: (Clicking on the Thumbnail will take you to YouTube where you can watch the clip in full size mode.) If the thumbnail does not have the YouTube logo in the bottom right corner, the clip is housed on our site and you just need to click the arrow in the center to make it play.
This is a small film clip of Jonah and his first bath…
(This particular film clip is a little long so will take a little while to download. However, it is well worth the wait.)
