US Ambassador to China Max Baucus and his wife Melodee Hanes stopped by
our Beijing Infant Care Home last week to learn more about our work and even
spend some quality time with a few of the babies currently in our care. They
came bearing gifts, and our Founder Brent Johnson was able to give them the
grand tour. It was wonderful to have the chance to show them around, discuss
our operations, and talk more about the context of our projects.
Here, Brent's introducing the Ambassador and his wife to our preemie
unit. Ms. Hanes is an attorney, with a particular interest in child protection.
There's Lily, in foreground, in her signature stance of working WHILE
kangarooing a baby.
In baby room 4, they were able to visit with some of our bigger babies.
And when we made our way back to the preemie rooms, Kate (a nurse
currently volunteering with us--read more about Kate here!) introduced our guests to a couple of
our preemies. The parental instincts kicked in the minute they got those babies
in their arms!
