Introducing Baobei Foundation
Hello and a big welcome to Baobei! Meaning 'Precious Child' in Chinese, Baobei has been established to improve the lives of precious Chinese orphans who have been born with critical Neurological and Gastro-Intestinal disorders. This site contains a wealth of information about the organization, the babies themselves, the disorders they suffer from, how you can donate and other ways you can help Baobei. Please take a look around and we hope you find something that touches you. We are blessed by every second of your time you give to us because, due to the nature of our work with these little babies, we really appreciate just how precious every second is.

SCMC-UCLA's 3rd Neurosurgery Medical Mission
Dr Jorge Lazareff and Dr Barbara Van de Wiele from University of California - Los Angeles (UCLA) are coming back to SCMC in Oct 2009. This year they are bringing another 4 neurosurgeons and neurogists also from UCLA to join in the "China-US Pediatric Neurosurgery Conference" hosted at SCMC by Dr Bao from Oct 29th - 31st. Before the conference, these doctors will perform surgeries for Baobei's patients. They will also provide check-up for the children in our healing home program. We are so excited to be asked to assist the surgeries and all the logistic needs for the conference. We learned that over 100 pediatric neurosurgeons from all over China will benefit from this conference. Wow, how excited are we that we can be part of this and to serve them!
