She and Hank are the two oldest at the Home of Hope. Holly is behind Hank one year in school and hopes to go to College when she finishes High School. She is a Junior this year.

She was not too happy in this picture because we called her down to her birthday party and she had just washed her hair. She is at that age now where they pay more attention to their appearance.

Nathan is helping her by cutting her cake for her.

Holly is a great person and when she has time really helps out around the Home of Hope with the young children. She is very mature, thoughtful and a very responsible person! We are quite proud of Holly.

In this picture Hank is joined by his dorm mates, (left to right) Henry, Seth, Joey, Jerry and David.

Hank will be graduating from High School this year and wants to go to College.

We are currently looking for people to help sponsor this effort as getting in college in China is not that easy and is often rather expensive. If you would like to help sponsor some of these children’s advanced education needs you can find out how to donate at our “donations” page.

Tony is always polite and thoughtful of others and does an excellent job in school.

Tony came to the Home of Hope in June of 2005 and so this was his first birthday party.

He was a little nervous since all the children give little speeches after all the other children sing happy birthday to them.

We thought Tony would ask to be excused from making his speech but he went right into it as if he had been doing this sort of thing all his life!

He really enjoyed his birthday party!
