"I've heard so many stories; I've seen pictures and videos. But when you step into the actual home of a family—you really feel it, you see it."

Last month, Keegan Ferrell traveled to Changsha and spent time with the children and young adults served through ICC’s programs. Watch the recap video and hear him share about his experience as our new Ambassador!

Wenlin is a lively and curious little boy who loves exploring, playing, and interacting with others. We welcomed him into our Enquan Yuan family in September 2025, and our team developed a personalized plan focused on increasing his activity level, improving coordination, enhancing hand grip strength, and providing sensory input. Surrounded by love, Wenlin has gained weight and became more joyful and lively.
Every day, as Wenlin practices walking, his caregiver supports him and cheers him on. Through perseverance and hard work, Wenlin has made great progress in his walking! Let’s cheer for Wenlin together!

We are thrilled to announce singer, songwriter, and producer Keegan Ferrell as our Ambassador!

“For the past two years, I’ve had the privilege of partnering with AFICC through the annual gala events. During that time, I’ve heard countless stories about the tireless work and care that ICC pours out into the lives of so many children. However, hearing about it and witnessing it firsthand are two very different things.

“After spending a week with the children and programs in Changsha, two things stood out to me. One was the confidence of the children. The way each child carried themselves confidently was a reflection of the way I saw them each loved and cared for individually by name. Most of all, I will cherish their smiles and laughter. The joy I saw in the children and felt in my own heart was so so pure, and it has left a lasting impression on me. I’m so honored to work alongside ICC to offer these children hope, and feel even more invigorated to do so after seeing how much it changes a child’s life.”

Stay tuned for more videos and reflections from Keegan's visit!

Joy in motion!

With a little teamwork and plenty of encouragement, this young explorer made it up the ramp to see the movie — and his smile says it all. At ICC, our family-style care goes beyond daily support: it’s about creating moments of fun, excitement, and independence.

Every step, every cheer, every shared laugh reminds us that inclusion isn’t just about accessibility — it’s about experiencing a full life together. ❤️

When Weishan joined our Enquan Yuan family in 2019, she was a lively ten-year-old with an intellectual disability and a bright spirit.

Starting school wasn’t easy. At first, she needed her caregiver’s help just to make it to the classroom.

But with encouragement and consistent care, something beautiful happened.

Today, Weishan looks forward to school, joins her classmates with confidence, helps her teacher during lessons, and especially loves art class.

Through the steady support of sponsors and donors, children like Weishan have the opportunity to learn, grow, and thrive in ICC's nurturing environment.

Giving red packets is a cherished Chinese New Year tradition that symbolizes sharing blessings, joy, and good wishes for the year ahead. 🧧

Each year during Chinese New Year, ICC presents red packets to the children in our care — a meaningful tradition and a special part of the holiday celebration.

We’re grateful to celebrate this season of hope, new beginnings, and community together. Watch as children in our programs share their New Year greetings!

Jincheng’s new wheelchair is here—and it’s a perfect fit!

This support helps him get out, engage, and participate in our Family Partners Program events.

We’re grateful to ICC donors whose generosity makes essential mobility and therapy equipment a reality for children like Jincheng.

Jiapeng and Jiacheng, brothers with cerebral palsy, live in rural Hunan province under the devoted care of their grandfather.

Our ICC Outreach Team regularly visits to provide essential supplies, as well as therapeutic and educational support.

As winter brings harsh cold, caring for the boys alone becomes especially difficult. Their family’s strength and resilience remind us why continued care and community support matter so deeply.
