Activities continue in Doumen!

An important announcement for the team! Let's just say that we are not sure this announcement came from Jumbo:)

Nathan is leading an activity with his students!

Terry did a presentation on non-profit organizations in America. We talked quite a bit about volunteer work and the importance it has in our culture. Our free talk groups have great discussions on the similarities and differences of our cultures.

Cody spent about 10 minutes visiting with Chinese teacher Betty after finishing his lunch today. It was a precious sight.

Our Chinese leaders work so hard keeping us cool, feeding us and providing great experiences, no doubt this is a well-deserved rest! (PS - Culturally, Chinese living in the sub-tropical area around Doumen are used to taking a "rest" after lunch each day.)

DOUMEN, Guangdong, China - A team of 13 will be at Doumen for a two-week camp for primary and middle school students (about 120 total students). This camp will complement a two-week teacher training (for about 80 teachers). There will also be a senior high camp during week three. The team consists of HU students, faculty, and local community members. This is in cooperation with the Doumen Education Bureau.

ZHONGSHAN, Guangdong, China - A team of 12 will be at Zhongshan for a three-week teacher training program. We will train 90 teachers in all (30 primary, 30 middle school, and 30 high school).

This team consists of a camp director and 6 HU students, all with some TESOL coursework and experience. This camp is in cooperation directly with the Zhuhai #1 Senior High School.

HUNTINGTON, Indiana, USA - A TEFL certification course during this same time frame in July on the Huntington University campus in Huntington, Indiana. We are expecting 13 English teachers and university English majors from China to attend. There are also 6 local participants. Participants will take classes each day and earn a TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) Certification at the end of three weeks. Chinese visitors will enjoy many activities, weekend trips, and time spent in local families’ homes in the evenings and weekends particularly for the Chinese participants in order for them to experience some American life and culture.
