國際關心中國慈善協會 :: International China Concern

When David Gotts was 19, he read the story of Jackie Pullinger. Ultimately, he was so inspired that he quit his banking job in England, moved to East Asia, and began to study Chinese.
當高永恩(David Gotts)19歲的時候，讀到了潘靈卓(Jackie Pullinger)的故事。他受到了極大的啟發，辭去了在英國的銀行工作，搬到了亞洲，開始學習中文。

While he was visiting a friend who worked at an orphanage in Mainland China, he had the opportunity to care for a newborn abandoned girl. This abandoned girl died within 24 hours of being born, and it was in that moment of hopelessness that God called David Gotts to begin a new work for the hundreds of thousands of abandoned children in China.
當他拜訪一位在大陸孤兒院工作的朋友時，他有機會照顧一位初生就被遺棄的女孩。 這個被遺棄的女孩在出生後24小時內死亡，而就在那個絕望的時刻，上帝呼召高永恩為中國成千上萬被遺棄的孩子開展一項新的工作。

David Gotts was inspired to change the system of orphan care, so that EVERY abandoned child in China has a chance to be loved and cared for. He began taking volunteer teams to assist at orphanages, and they saw a massive impact through their efforts.
高永恩受到啟發，要改變關懷孤兒的製度，以致每個在中國被拋棄的孩子都有機會被愛護和照顧。 他開始帶領志願者團隊去幫助孤兒院，他們的努力帶來了巨大的影響。
