Thank you in advance for your support!

Begun in 2008, Harvard China Care celebrates Children’s Day with an annual carnival that fills the entire Penthouse floor of the SOCH with game booths, food, laughter and fun. The carnival is targeted towards families and children of all ages in the Boston and Cambridge area—all are welcome!
The Children’s Day Carnival fulfills two goals: the first, to keep HCC connected with the Boston and Harvard communities and second, to raise money for orphans in China. To date, this fun-filled event has raised more than $3,800 over three carnivals.

Surgery Updates
--------------------
Hong's health had been compromised due to his inability to eat properly with a cleft lip. Fortunately, he underwent a successful lip repair surgery and is now doing very well. He will return to the China Care Home soon to undergo a second surgery to repair his cleft palate. Thank you for making a difference in his life!
