MAP ABOVE SHOWS ALL ORPHANGES AND SOCIAL WELFARE INSTITUTES IN JIANGXI PROVINCE. IF YOU LOCATE NANCHANG IN THE CENTER OF THE UPPER THIRD OF THE MAP, JUST FOLLOW THE RAILROAD TO THE SOUTHWEST TO THE LOCATION OF THE TAIHE COUNTY SOCIAL WELFARE INSTITUTE (SWI). AN SWI NOT ONLY TAKES RESPONSIBILITY FOR ORPHANS, IT ALSO HAS SENIOR CARE FACILITIES AND OTHER SERVICES FOR THE COUNTY. THE ORPHANAGE AT THE TAIHE SWI IS SMALL; NORMALLY THERE ARE ONLY 25 TO 40 CHILDREN. MOST CHILDREN ARE PLACED FOR ADOPTION BY THEIR SECOND YEAR. FOLLOWING ARE PICTURES OF TAIHE SWI PROVIDED US BY THE ORPHANAGE, USING A CAMERA THAT WE SENT THEM TO PHOTOGRAPH ANNA. I HAVE ALSO INCLUDED A PICTURE OF OTHER ORPHANS TAKEN BY ANOTHER ADOPTING FAMILY THAT TRAVELED TO TAIHE IN JUNE 2005. | |
