Dear donor,

It’s a new year. We will keep praying for your safety and health.

Cathwel restarts many projects this year, including connecting more external resources for children's needs and accelerating matching adoptive families for children in need.

Despite of manpower shortage, we have launched a new program in addition to our current service. We extend our service for young people and women who have been cared by Cathwel or inter-country adoptees through Cathwel who return in Taiwan as their lives are still unstable and in need. The original intention of this program is that we have known for a long time that many young people whom we’ve cared or adoptees who returned to Taiwan had difficulty adjusting to life. In the past, Cathwel would provide them emergency assistance, but now we want to do more. At this stage, we are taking the step and accompanying them to create more opportunity.

In Taiwan, the epidemic prevention restrictions are steady easingbecause the policy is to coexist with the virus. Hence, many places have opened up.For protecting our children, Jonah House still maintains appropriate epidemic prevention measures, yet currently the older children can go to school and attend activities normally, and our young children can gradually go out. Thank God!

We are more grateful to people who continue to support Jonah House. With your support, the operation of Jonah House will not be impacted.

Christmas is coming. We pray for some countries still suffering from the epidemic. Wish everyone can spend Christmas safely and happily.

We are facing Corona virus (Omicron) in Taiwan. Part of people have been infected so far, including the younger children and staff of Jonah House. Despite of rigorous infection control, there are still high possibilities of getting infected because it is spreading overall.

However, it was helpful for us to overcome the difficulty safely by starting working alternatively and working off-site again, carrying on necessary rapid test, paying attention to physical conditions of adult and the children, and following the government’s policy. Luckily, the children had mild symptoms, and they already became healthy after appropriate caring.

Thank every donor for the continuous support during the pandemic. We do what we can do, and also we pray for the safety and health of each child.

Therapies and explorations for the children at Jonah House restart, including early intervention for the young children and talent courses for the teenagers, because the epidemic is ebbing gradually.

In response toCovid-19 epidemic, Cathwel has created some innovative projects since the second half of last year. To support the women in need financially, who have stayed at Jonah House, we invite them to produce hand-made books for Cathwel so that they’d have more income while raising their children alone.

We keep the importance of epidemic prevention in mind. In the meantime, we continue to assist children in need to get adopted, take care of the children who cannot return to family yet, and accompany single mothers.

After Taiwan has increased the COVID vaccination rate gradually while most Taiwanese people are very cautious about the epidemic, we have returned to normal life step by step. Because Jonah House is a big house where takes care of children 24 hours, all the staff as well as our teenagers have been vaccinated. Schools started in September in Taiwan. Therefore, most of the school aged children have returned to school as normal.

However, we still need maintain the most basic of epidemic prevention, for example, washing hands and wearing masks. At the present stage, Jonah House still has visitor control. Furthermore, the social workers have to meet cases in other places outside.

People in the world are trying to get adapted to the inconvenience caused by the epidemic of COVID-19, and the challenge has not yet ended. Even with the difficulties, Cathwel still keeps working hard for the children in need. We pray for the world!
