Dear friends,

When we reflect back on a year, we often focus on the big developments or challenges that absorbed our attention. ICC experienced plenty of those in 2022. But it is the small achievements: a child learning to walk, a boy being given the chance to explore his artistic potential, a little girl going to school for the first time—that are the true milestones that define ICC’s work in China.

They accumulate throughout the year, one by one, and when we look back we see lives that have been transformed and dreams that have come true.

The stories you read in this newsletter tell just a few of those stories. You are part of each one of them. Sometimes you need to look closely, because the changes are subtle and delicate. But together they are immense, and unforgettable. As we step into a new year, I encourage you to watch for these small stories of achievement and love. They will fill an entire year and spill over into the next. Every one of them has the small, indelible stamp of our loyal donors. Thank you for another year of small stories about great achievements.

Peter Maize
Chief Executive Officer
