Yu Zhi (Jason) 15th October 2007

When Yu Zhi first came to Bethel, he didn’t smile at all. He cried throughout the day and night, and didn’t want to play with the other children. He was very obedient whenever the aiyis asked him to do something, but he could never manage to control his tears.

It took a while for him to feel safe, but soon he was running up and down the halls of Bethel saying “Hello!” to everyone he met. He’s a good listener, and loves to be picked up and hugged by his aiyis.

Yu Zhi enjoys to play with musical toys such as the piano, and he loves playing with visitors. He gets along well with the other children and is always giggling about something.

He has great self help skills and can now put on his own clothes, brush his teeth, feed himself without spilling, and make his own bed. In school he loves memorizing English songs and animals. He has some speech difficulties, but his aiyis are working diligently to help him learn to pronounce words properly.

We’re really excited about the progress Yu Zhi has made! He is growing into a friendly affectionate, kind boy and we love having him here at Bethel.
