2008 Summer Team,

You should have already sent your support letters to family and friends. If not you need to do so immediately.

The next payment due is $1600 on March 15. BTW needs this amount from everyone in order to make the airline payment by the end of March.

Thank you,

BTW ESL Summer Staff

For eight days this past week we have had a group of six students and their leader visiting Lynchburg, VA for a cultural exchange and touring time.It was an exciting time and a learning experience for both the Chinese and the American host families.

During this time we toured Liberty University and Amazement Square on Tuesday. Thursday we had an historic tour of Lynchburg, Appomattox, and the D-Day memorial in Bedford, VA. On Friday and Saturday we toured Washington D.C.

Happy New Year 2008 from the Bridging The World staff!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from the Bridging the World Staff.

If you are interested in going on the ESL summer trip to China you need to have your completed application and $600 in no later than February 15th 2008.
