	Local Treasure Off the Beaten Track:  Bob and Stephanie Tadjiki from Bend, Oregon visited Chongqing to pick up a daughter they had adopted from a local orphanage.  In the process they met Kenny, an artist who is devoting his talents to teaching children in orphanages how to paint and prepare themselves for future careers.  This led to Bob and Stephanie discovering the exceptional scrolls and paintings created by teenagers in the orphanage and to
establishing a business-cum-orphanage-support operation.  Visit their Scrolls From China web site to learn more about this story and view examples of the artists' works.
