BUILDING COMMUNITY
ONESKY’S TEAMS IN ASIA BECOME A VITAL PART OF THE COMMUNITIES WHERE WE WORK.
In China, OneSky supported the government in implementing the Family First initiative by training and supporting welfare institution staff to more swiftly evaluate and place children into adoptive or foster families. Since its launch, 164 children from 43 institutions have been moved into families whose adult caregivers have been trained by OneSky.

At our Early Learning Center in Vietnam, our team supports the entire community during times of crisis. In October, a severe storm and landslide displaced many families and children in our area. The Early Learning Center, itself, flooded, causing damage and the center’s closure. Thankfully, the generosity of local volunteers and our global supporters allowed us to restore operations within a few days, enabling us to provide shelter, food, clothing and school materials to those in need.
In Mongolia, we completed six parent training cohorts at the OneSky Family Center. We also launched cooperative play care groups with parents and children to help build community among migrant families. And, to support play and learning at home, we provided educational kits with toys and books to 169 families.
In conjunction with the Yew Chung College of Early Childhood Education, the OneSky Hong Kong team organized a parent-child STEAM Carnival. More than 300 families joined the event, which was designed to teach adults responsive care through play.
