The younger children have become healthy
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!
