Lisa is ten years old. She is handicapped（残疾的）because she has brain damage. She could not dress herself or feed herself until a year ago. Her parents loved her, but they treated her like a baby.

Mr Ching has a daughter and a son. They are both grown-up. They live far from their father. Mr Ching felt lonely. He decided to do something about it. He volunteered to become a foster grandfather to a handicapped child. And that was how he met Lisa.

Mr Ching became a foster grandparent to Lisa a year ago. At first, Lisa was shy. She was afraid because Mr Ching was a stranger. But he came to see her three times a week. Little by little, she began to trust him.

Lisa let Mr Ching do things for her. He helped to dress her, told her stories and fed her. One day he came at lunchtime and fed her. He handed her the spoon and guided it to her mouth. He told her she must learn to feed herself.

“Most of that lunch ended up on our clothes instead of in Lisa’s mouth,” Mr Ching remembers. “But it was a start for Lisa. She learned to feed herself in a few months.”

Then Lisa was ready for more treatment. Thanks to Mr Ching, she had learned to do one simple thing. She could also learn to do other simple things.

To become foster grandparents, people must be at least sixty years old and in good health. They are volunteers, so they are not paid.

Mr Ching says, “We all benefit. The handicapped children benefit because we help them live more useful lives. And we benefit because we know the children need us and love us. For any person, there’s no greater happiness than that!”
