SIXTH CARE CENTER OPENS IN SICHUAN

The Jackson Family Foundation Christian Care Center has opened its doors to accommodate over 100 orphan children in Zigong, Sichuan. When the Jackson Family Center is filled with orphans, we will be caring for approximately eight hundred in China. The center will be the home of orphans from our foster care program in Yongshan, Yunnan and victims of the Sichuan earthquake last year. All of the orphans we have supported in the Yongshan foster care program will be permitted to relocate to the Jackson Family Center.

This facility was made possible by the generosity of the Jackson Family Foundation and the South Baton Rouge Chinese church of Christ. We want to express our sincere thanks to both for making the facility possible. Many poor orphans will be provided with not only a beautiful place to live, but also a home with loving care that will give them an opportunity for a good education and a hope for the future. A photo of the four story building is shown below.
