Single Chinese Woman Becomes Orphan's "Mom" in Israel
By Dave Bender, Hao Fangjia
Quan Shiyi, a volunteer of Beijing, China, is caring for a one-year-and-half-old orphan suffering from a life-threatening congenital heart defect.
Gretel, her English name, is 26 years old and unmarried, and had never looked after a baby, even not changed a diaper.
But all that changed in 2009 when she met Qian Baoxin at an orphanage in Beijing, where Gretel volunteered as a translator. There, she learned the meaning of motherhood.
