Extreme Kitchen Makeover for Orphans

The kitchen in the Liucun Orphanage and Elderly Home in China was in desperate need of an extreme makeover. Staff from Operation Blessing China walked into a room where the windows and doors barely hung on to their rusty hinges. A thick layer of grease covered everything. There were no cabinets or shelves, so clean pans, bowls and plates were stacked on the floor. There was clear evidence of flies and mice.

Eleven senior citizens and 13 orphans call Liucun home. Caregivers did the best that they could on an extremely tight budget. If the unsanitary kitchen weren’t renovated soon, it was probable that food related sicknesses would threaten weak immune systems.

Operation Blessing China partnered with EU-China Junior Managers Training Program to renovate and buy new kitchenware for Liucum. Work was soon underway and the new kitchen opened this past summer!

The cook was delighted with the transformation. The kitchen is now sanitary and bright, as well as equipped with modern appliances and plenty of storage space. "The equipment is so clean and modern," he said. "I will take good care of the kitchen and serve the elderly and children well."

To celebrate the completion we also sponsored a special meal for the residents. Nutritious chicken, beef and mutton dishes were served with great excitement because it’s rare they can afford to buy meat or eggs. Their typical diet consists of vegetables, rice, bread and fruit.

This extreme makeover will have a positive impact on the food quality at Liucun Welfare Home! But there is a lot more to do for them and many other hurting people around the world. They need you.
