DVDs
Since 2006, Research-China has visited many orphanages throughout China, and we have incredible video documenting these journeys available to families for purchase.
Recorded on DVD, they are formatted to run on most DVD players in the US and Europe. DVDs may include footage of the orphanage, staff, finding locations, sites around the villages, towns and cities, even Chinese festival celebrations! These will be especially valuable to families who did not have the opportunity to visit the orphanage or finding location for their child, for parents to share with their children as they get older, or perhaps for sharing at travel group or orphanage reunions.
All DVDs are $25.00 per copy, which includes shipping and handling for destinations within the United States. For destinations outside the United States, $10 will be added for shipping and handling.
Contact us if you are interested in any of the following DVDs.
