A Hundred Families, A Hundred Lives | Telehealth Support Initiative
Committed to promoting children's healthy development, PenguinSmart is proud to partner with International China Concern (ICC) in raising funds for the Telehealth Support Initiative, which brings specialized online early intervention training services to families with developmentally challenged children in China through ICC's Family Partners Program.
Our goal is to support 100 families in receiving 6 months ($135/month) of early intervention support through PenguinSmart and ICC's multi-discipline social work team. We cannot do this without your help!

Introducing our partner: International China Concern (ICC)
International China Concern is one of the few remaining foreign non-governmental organizations (NGOs) serving children and families in China. ICC began in 1993 by sending short-term teams into China to provide care in government welfare centers and later established permanent locations that provided full-time, family-style care for children in Changsha and Hengyang. American Friends of International China Concern (AFICC) support ICC’s mission to bring love, hope, and opportunity to every child with a disability in China.
Today, ICC remains as a respected human services agency that provides supportive services to nearly 600 families and holistic care to more than 900 disenfranchised children and young adults with disabilities.
