Last August's trip included bringing almost 20 Bumbo seats for babies living in orphanages around Guangxi. Some of the Bumbo seats were donated, others were purchased from donated funds. It was SO exciting to think of the staff of orphanages and foster homes being able to use the Bumbos, which are unavailable in China. Often times in therapy, I will use or recommend the Bumbo seat to be used with babies who have weakness, low muscle tone, or high muscle tone. It can be a simple way to build strength and muscle control.
The orphanages have been using them, and have sent some photos of the precious babies who have been benefitting from the Bumbos.
It is great to see a child sitting outside in one
Hopefully the next time we see this sweet child she will be smiling
On behalf of all of the little ones in Guangxi who have benefitted from your love and generosity, THANK YOU!!!!
We hope to collect and hand carry more Bumbos for our 2011 trip. These little seats can make life so much easier and more fun for some very special babies!
Thank you for sharing these photos with us! Your work is very inspiring!
ReplyDeleteSuch a simple thing with such impact. If you can carry them all the way there, the least the rest of us can do is seek them out. I'm all over this.
ReplyDeleteThank you!!!! I am desperately trying to get more for this years trip. They make SUCH a difference!
