Half the Sky has a Infant Nutrition Program that is a lot more then just food. They hire local women to be nannies or mother figures to 2-4 children but call themselves grandmas. This program is in place for children from birth to 2 years of age. It is designed to promote all areas of development, but with a strong emphasis on social-emotional development. Half the Sky believes that very young child should have at least one person they could trust to consistently meet their needs. This help the child build an attachment with at least one person. A Record the child’s development and a history of the child is written in a Memory Book for each child. Annalise’s Half the Sky Memory book is 23 pages long all hand written in Chinese. It is currently being translated. Here is a little peak into her life in Shenzhen. Thank you Half the Sky for everything you did for Annalise and for all you do for so many orphans you touch in China.

such a precious gift....in soooo many way!
Thanks for sharing!
Most of the nannies leave their own families to work long hours for very little, caring for and growing to love the babies. They do an amazing job and most of them are heart broken to see their charges go but realize they are going to a life full of promise and privilege. They are so often forgotten. It does my heart good to see your post. HTS is a great organization!
