Hello everyone,
I’ve completed my 2024 Calendar China’s Night Scenery and would like to get the pre-order going so that I can estimate how many to print. You can place your order by scanning the QR code on the flyers below. As always, proceeds go toward the support of Huge Grace Orphanage.
Thank you all for your support.
