Welcome to Chenzhou Families!

Please keep our Chenzhou children still living in the Chenzhou orphanage, the orphanage staff and the people of Chenzhou in your thoughts and prayers during this very difficult time. Due the worst winter storm in 50 years, the people of Chenzhou have been without electricity for over ten days!

Public transportation is shut down... electricity and running tap water are unavailable... banks are closed... shops are closed! What can we possible do to help the children and staff of our Chenzhou orphanage?

Two organizations, Half The Sky Foundation and Operation Blessing China, sent humanitarian relief teams to the orphanage to deliver food, medicine, blankets, diapers, and to give the children medical checkups.  Learn more about the 2008 Chenzhou Winter Storm.

We recently started our new Family Page Project in which our member families may create their own family pages on Chenzhou.org.

We will be integrating a variety of new features, including photo galleries of our orphanage photos, lots of new family Personal pages and video of the city of Chenzhou.

See our original Chenzhou Families Web site here.
