Welcome to Richmond Christian School Walk the Wall 2024!
During the week of May 13-17, RCS will take part in Walking the Wall for China’s Most Vulnerable Children
"DRIVEN BY LOVE"What a gift it is to partner with International China Concern this year at the Middle Campus! Our students have much to learn from the experiences of people with disabilities who live in China and are cared for through the faithful work of ICC. They also have a wonderful opportunity to turn their attention away from the relative comforts of their own lives and serve others. We invite you to support our students’ efforts by giving generously to ICC. Thank you for showing His love! ANGELA LAING ______________________________________________________ Who is International China Concern?Since 1993, International China Concern has been reaching out to China’s most vulnerable children. Children with disabilities in China face stigma, systemic prejudice (often unable to attend school), isolation and many live in extreme poverty. Families caring for a child with a disability live under tremendous pressure that can lead them to the desperate and painful decision to abandon their child. Once a child is abandoned, care by China’s institutional welfare centres often results in neglect, malnutrition, and deterioration, causing irreparable harm. Richmond Christian School is a proud partner of International China Concern (ICC). ICC provides support both to families caring for a child with a disability in their own home and for children who have been abandoned. Your child is going to be taking part in a special event called Walk the Wall during the week of May 13-17. Let's help transform lives together!This year, join us as we actively participate in God’s restorative plan, bringing light into the darkness. Help your child bring hope to the world by supporting the meaningful work of ICC. Each class at RCS Middle has an online fundraising page. We’re asking you, as parents, along with your child to email friends and family to ask them to sponsor your child as they take part in Walk the Wall. Please share with them the link that has been provided by your child’s classroom teacher. The donations received will enable ICC to provide the necessary care, nutrition and services that enable families to care for their child. It will also enable the children, who have experienced abandonment, to receive the kind of care that will give them the opportunity to grow in their God-given potential. |

Have you adopted or sponsored a child from ICC? Do you have a passion to see Chinese society love and embrace people with disabilities?
Q: Why is it important for me to share my “story”?
