There is still time to join ACT on a trip to China!

On October 10,
2013 a team will be leaving for Gansu, China. Led by Tim Gampp, this group will
focus on direct interaction with the children in the orphanage as well as with
orphanage staff. Playing with children, holding them, and providing them with
care are some of the most important ways to help with their development and
ability to form attachment. We are looking for additional team members and if
you are in the medical or social work fields, we’d love to have you join us as
well as there is always a need for team members with these backgrounds.

America World
has orphanage partners throughout China, giving teams the opportunity to work
directly with many children. ACT regularly hosts trips to China through these
strong connections with groups that have the same desire to help children.
These trips bring immense fulfillment and joy to those who have the opportunity
to experience them!

Gansu is
located in the middle part of the Silk Road and is a demographically diverse
province. It is home to an abundance of ethnic groups and has played a
significant role in both Chinese and world history. The Huang He River, Great
Wall and Silk Road all come through this region and it is know as the “golden
section†of the Silk Road. Over the past 2,000 years it saw such great envoys
as those of Marco Polo, Zhang Qian, and Xuan Zang. Being a hotbed of trade and
travel for many years it inherited a vast array of cultures encompassing
Buddhism, Islam, Christianity, Confucianism and Taoism. You don’t want to miss
such a rich opportunity to explore this ancient and magnificent province.

There is still
time to join this team! This trip will take place from October 10 -October 20,
2013. If you would like more information you can check out the details on our website.
