		<description><![CDATA[<strong>NEW BEDS FOR THE CHILDREN</strong>

Some time ago we realized the children's beds were in dire need of replacement.  Some more than others, as you can probably imagine.  After ten years of use, all the beds at the Gongyi Home of Hope have started to deteriorate in various degrees of wear.
