Let The JOY Begin – New Program Launches
The holidays are upon us and GWCA/CAN is proud to announce the launching of our newest program, the J.O.Y. Initiative (Journey for Orphaned Youth)
Our J.O.Y. (Journey for Orphaned Youth) Advocacy Initiative is a special, one-week program that occurs three times a year. A small group of families will travel together to China to meet a child waiting for a forever family. It’s an amazing chance to connect with a child, see the world the children live in, and create an amazing opportunity for a forever family. Families interested in the JOY Advocacy Initiative should have a strong intention of adoption or established interest in advocating for orphans.
Much like our Home Orphan Hosting China Program, the children in our JOY Initiative have often lived in orphanages most of their lives. Though usually well-cared for, these children have almost never experienced a sense of family and have lacked access to basic needs like general medical care, good nutrition, and education.
The children in our JOY Initiative are extra-special! These are children who may not be eligible for hosting either due to age or need, and families are able to meet their potential forever child through this experience. Every opportunity we provide to our children from China is another chance for them to find the love, comfort, and permanency a family can provide.
We are currently seeking families to join us on our Inaugural JOY Initiative Trip this Spring. Visit our photo listing today. Families interested in learning more can contact Cayce or Shannon via email or by phone, 512-323-9595 Ext 3101 to learn more.

Haiti Holidays
“We make a living by what we get. We make a life by what we give.”
In the midst of the holiday season, it’s easy to lose sight of how fortunate we are. Unlike so many orphans around the world, we have the opportunity to spend the holidays surrounded by family and friends as we eat feasts and open presents. So this holiday season, Children of All Nations is providing a way to give back, with our “Haiti Holidays” donation drive!
This coming February, Children of All Nations will be sending a team to Haiti to meet with each of the orphanages that we partner with, and we want to send them off with a suitcase full of gifts! We’ve reached out to each of the orphanages and they’ve provided us with a list of items that they are in need of (below). We are asking any families that are interested in contributing to our donation drive to send us an item from the list or a gift card to a store such as Walmart or Target so that we can purchase the item on your behalf. Please take a photo when sending your items in the mail or dropping them off at our office and email them to hilary@childrenofallnations.com.
