It began with a year off from Harvard Medical school and ended with a life forever changed as Dr. Chi Huang discovered the broken lives of the orphaned children of Bolivia. An idealistic trip to help the children of La Paz, Bolivia draws him deeper into their bleak lives where he must live a Christ-like existence of selflessness to reach their hearts. It's a story of an unexpected ministry that will challenge your heart and ignite your faith.

Expecting to treat some mildly ill children from the streets of Bolivia on a quick “service trip,” an idealistic young medical student gets more than he bargained for when he takes a year off from Harvard Medical School to work at an orphanage in La Paz. As he comes to know the children, and sees how they live, Chi Huang is drawn deeper and deeper into their complex and desperate lives. The doctor soon realizes that to truly help these children, he will have to follow the example of Jesus: live among them, love them in spite of their brokenness, and cling to his faith in God's goodness, even when it appears it is nowhere to be found. A true story that will inspire and challenge readers to greater faith and action. The book includes a Foreword by Harvard professor and world-renowned expert on the moral and spiritual development of children, Dr. Robert Coles.

“This is an extraordinary effort by a sensitive and knowing physician deeply interested in young people and their manner of living—a doctor [who] transcends barriers of geography, nationality, and class.”--Dr. Robert Coles, James Agee professor of social ethics at Harvard University, professor of psychiatry and medical humanities at Harvard Medical School, and author of The Moral Life of Children and The Spiritual Life of Children
