An organization in Shenzhen is hosting an art exhibition featuring the artwork of children from various Social Welfare Institutes around China. The artwork will be made available for sale, and the proceeds will go to the organization's caring for the children. Last year our kids participated in the art exhibition, and we're in the process of getting ready for this year's show! We think we have extraordinarily talented children, and we wanted to share the artwork that they've created for the show.
