April 2016 Newsletter

Dear friends,

As our 10th anniversary year continues, we are grateful for unique opportunities to continue furthering our mission of helping children and families in China. In a letter to the community, ELG co-founder Andrew Hill takes us behind-the-scenes of the two Autism Awareness events that took place earlier this month, designed to bring different organizations together to raise awareness of Autism Spectrum Disorder in China. ELG staff partnered with the amazing people at our sister NGO , Xiersen, along with other local organizations.

We hope you join us in future endeavors to improve special education in China.
