Why come to Changsha?

為什么來到長沙,？

"I used to be a pediatric nurse, and love and care for children is the natural instinct.In 1999, I went to Changsha First Welfare Home for the first time, where the helpless eyes and desiring expressions of the children touched me deeply.I felt that I should do something for them, and it would be meaningful even if I could only change one child’s life. So I gave up my stable work and life in Australia, came to China alone, and devoted myself to charity here. I worked with the ICC to help disabled children in this beautiful city. A lot of my friends choose Shanghai or Beijing, but I like Changsha. I immerse myself here in the local culture and learn the language.I really enjoy the challenge of learning Chinese here. The locals are very helpful and friendly to me."
