Before After

Community Investment Special Needs Children Orphanage

Barrington invests financially and through its employees’ time to provide physical therapy and education to the helpless children among the Xiamen community.

Poverty As Tragedy To Economic Transformation

The family living in this rundown home

had a four-year-old daughter drown in a

shallow puddle in the front yard.

Because of the generous salaries they earn, employees’ families that once lived in dilapidated homes, can now afford to move into new, modern housing.

“High-end gifts are temporary in value – but we can do things through our gifts that have lasting high-end value.”
