[Update] Orphans Receive Life-Saving Surgeries【更新】孤儿重获新生

Last March, Yew Chung International School of Beijing’s Parent Organisation hosted an Oscars Charity Ball to raise funds for Seeds of Hope and New Day Foster Home charities.  It was a fun-filled evening with performances by students, live auctions, and delicious food.

三月，北京耀中国际学校家长委员会举办了首届奥斯卡慈善晚会，为希望种子和希望之家慈善筹款。这是一个乐趣多多的夜晚，精彩的学生表演、刺激的现场拍卖以及美味佳肴都让活动增色不少。

But in addition to the fun and entertainment, most importantly the event was able to raise 230,000 RMB to be spent on children in need.  

所有的这些娱乐，都是为我们的慈善筹款做铺垫。当晚，我们一共为有需要的孩子筹得23万善款。

Now several months later, we’d like to share an update of how the funds were used to provide medical treatment for two local children, Catherine and Ronan, who were in desperate need of life-saving heart operations.

几个月过去了。我们想和大家分享一下我们是如何支配这笔善款的。这个款项用于支付两个本地的孩子Catherine 和 Ronan 的心脏手术费用。 

Catherine’s Operation Was Successful!

Catherine的手术很成功！

Though Catherine was originally told by a local hospital that her condition was too severe and risky to receive the heart surgery she needed, New Day Foster Home didn’t give up.  Instead, they contacted a top cardiologist in the United States who said that there was still hope.  

尽管当地医院告诉Catherine说她的身体状况太严重，要做心脏手术风险太大。但是，希望之家没有放弃。相反，他们联系到了一个美国的心血管专家，专家说Catherine还是有希望的。

US and Chinese doctors then discussed the issue and decided to go ahead with the surgery – which was a success!  Catherine is now improving faster than doctors originally thought.  She’s eating well, is already out of the hospital, and is on track for a full recovery!

最后，中美两国医生一起讨论Catherine的病情，并一致决定做手术。最后，手术成功了！Catherine目前的术后恢复比医生预期的要快很多。她吃得好，正在积极的恢复中。

Ronan is Improving Quickly! Ronan恢复得很快！

For years, Ronan was unable to have the heart surgery he needed because doctors worried that his Pulmonary arteries were too weak.  However, through New Day’s continued efforts, a surgeon at Bayi Children’s Hospital agreed to perform the eight-hour surgery – which was also a success!

多年来，Ronan都不能做心脏手术，因为医生都担心他的肺动脉太虚弱。然而，通过希望之家的持续努力，八一儿童医院的一个外科医生同意了去为Roman做这个八小时的手术。最后，手术成功了！

After only two days, Ronan was released from the ICU, and only nine days after the surgery he was discharged from the hospital and able to return to New Day.  The surgeon was also astonished at Ronan’s quick recovery and thanked New Day for trusting him with Ronan’s heart.

术后两天，Ronan就从重症病房转移到普通病房。术后九天，他就从医院出来，回到希望之家。Ronan快速的恢复能力让主刀医生感到惊讶，并感谢希望之家对他的信任。

Align with Love & Charity 与仁爱结盟

At YCIS Beijing, there are many aspects to a child’s education that we aim to support and develop.  We hope that our students will enter the world with the skills and ability to secure a position in their ideal workplace; with the knowledge to understand themselves and their society, and with the heart and compassion to help those in greater need.  Part of our school motto is “To Align with Love and Charity”, which – through events like the PO Charity Ball and our dedicated Character Education Programme – come to life through the compassionate work of our students, parents and teachers.

在北京耀中国际学校，我们致力于培养全面发展的学生。我们希望我们的学生可以能够带着知识去理解他们自己及周遭社会，带着过娴熟的技能和能力进入这个真实的世界，并获得他们理想的工作岗位；带着仁爱之心去帮助有需要的人。我校校训之一就是“与仁爱结盟”。通过家长委员会组织的慈善舞会以及我们扎实的“品格教育课程”，充分地落实这个校训。
