SPOTLIGHT WHY WE DO WHAT WE DO By Ja Wuttithamrong, Director of Community Advancement, Ivy Education Group Yang Yang, was born in March 2016. He was abandoned under a train seat when he was about 8 days old, and was very blue because of his heart defect. Desperate to help him, the local orphanage reached out to Dew Drops in July 2016. Dew Drops quickly brought Yang to Beijing and helped arranged his first heart surgery that August. Yang slowly gained his strength, and learned how to walk. The watershed moment was in May 2017, Yang met his forever mom and dad who welcomed him to their family. He received a second- stage heart repair surgery in the United States, and has recovered completely, with the love and care of his forever home. Daystar Academy Spring/Summer Edition 2019
