Volunteers from both China and the US celebrated Children's Day with the orphans in the Shepherd's Field Children's Village, a foster home in Tianjin, on Wednesday.
"The Shepherd's Field Children's Village cares for more than 4,000 orphaned children, provides more than 3,000 surgeries and medical procedures, and has helped more than 900 children find forever families of their own since its founding in 1999," said founder Timothy Baker.
Every weekend, volunteers from Tianjin and Beijing, and sometimes even overseas, come help take care of the children.
More than 60 orphans are currently living in the children's village. They all had fun in a gala party and water-playing event with volunteers and staff on Children's Day.
