It is Saturday in Kunming. We got a good night’s sleep and many slept in til 8 or so. A real treat for us. Most are up and ready to go by 7 every morning. We had a relaxing night last night with some shopping some strolling in Green Lake Park and many just sitting and talking with our teammates and new Chinese friends.

Today we will have a day of sightseeing. We will go to a minority village where there are about 25 different mninority areas with people in ethnic dress, displays of their handiwork and lots of opportunity to see Chinese history and culture. ...read more »

The Kunming camp is staying busy and being creative in teaching English to orphanage children as well as the summer camp.

Keep the Kunming camp in your thoughts as they lack sufficient classroom space for doing a summer camp in Kunming.

The Kunming team has arrived and is doing well. Please keep us in your thoughts.

We have 100 students and are getting acquainted.

We will be working with “Kunming Mary” as Woody likes to call her. She has graciously stepped forward to host the camp when our camp in LanXi was cancelled due to concerns relative to the old swine flu. ...read more »
