Around the grounds of the current ChangDe SWI

We had a short walk around the grounds of the current ChangDe SWI.  It was a chilly January day, but the conversation was wonderful.  Thanks to the camera work of JieJie.

Above: looking from the back of the SWI towards the street.  To the left of this frame is the building for children.


 The inscription at the base of the statue reads: "Care and Love - Time Flies.  In celebration of the 60th anniversary of the Changde Social Welfare Instituted (CSWI), an eight meter high sculpture has been built.  It is like a strong hand holding a heart full of love, which indicates the party and the government show great care and love for the weak people.  the sculpture is red in colour which implies enthusiasm and unselfish dedication of the staff in SCWI.  The lines flowing upwards promise bright future for CSWI.  The inscription 'Care and Love' was written by Mr. Cao RuGuo, Deputy Secretary of Changde Municipal Committee. July 2010".
Above is the cafeteria of the SWI.



 The statue of the elder.  I touched the statue, and was surprised to find out it is made of some sort of fiberglass composite.  I have seen this elsewhere in China.

A view to the entrance of the children's section of the orphanage. You can see the dome above.  As you go through the gates, you go into the interior section, and the children's dormitories are on the left.
