On Saturday afternoon as usual we arrived to an excited joyful - actually exuberant group of children. They were going to be coloring Easter eggs. As we got supplies together for them, they carried out their tables and put on their newspaper aprons. Continuing through the afternoon with great thought and determination, they helped one another. Each worked at creating and choosing one special egg for their entry to Sunday morning's contest.

Some of the children also took out time to help fill empty plastic Easter eggs with candy, toys or money for our early morning Easter egg hunt. Above: Mu Yao dong, Ya jun and Han Xi yu were so thrilled that they got to help with this activity. Hao peng, Cai yun and Xiao hui work on their basket.
