NDNorth: Children's Day!


It’s Childrens’ Day in China (June 1st), and the small folk of the local orphanage are in for a treat. They are dressed in their best and are patiently awaiting the show to begin.

The children have front row seats for the performance. They are trying very hard to be patient as they wait for it to begin. The nannies have clothed them in their brightest outfits, and adorned their faces with stickers to add to the celebratory atmosphere.
