Friday was a special day at the foster home! Clowns from the USA came all the way to China to spread extra-wide smiles across our childrens' faces. It was a morning filled with giggles and silly antics, not to mention face paints, stickers, and balloons. It took a few of the kids a little while to warm up to the clowns, but by the end of the morning, everyone was having fun.
