more on doctor Lien...
here is one of Lien's stories from the book...
when his churchmates knowing that he was sent to Africa, they kept sending him boxes of used/new clothes without saying a word, or stating any reason... a total of sixty boxes (woh!)...
with his creative mind, he started the idea of a clothes-for-garbage activity in his area... hundreds of children gathered at a school playground... within only 2 hours, all the clothes were gone...
then...
a taiwanese girl heard of his story and wrote him an email... but Lien's reply on the clothes-for-garbage project was then being forwarded to seventy of the girl's friends... and these seventy kept forwarding the email... finally this email was widely spread around the world... [pls don't under-estimate the power of the internet...]
more and more ppl knew about this wonderful project... then they started sending him boxes and boxes and boxes of clothes and toys... this time, there were 1,500 boxes...
these 1,500 boxes of clothes had created a series of problems... under God's providence, and with Lien's faithful heart... all these problems were resolved one-by-one, no later no earlier... so he could start another round, with a larger scale, of clothes-for-garbage campaign in the city...
