LAST DAYS IN KUNMING


Our students have become very close, looking out for each other. They are family
now.
So many of them have excellent and mature behavior. They have met schedules,
kept up with a very fast paced and full days.
Don't be surprised if they come home and sleep for a week and want hamburgers
and cereal. You may want to have some of their favorite foods for them.
We visited the Stone Forest, out in the country for the first
time got a glimpse of rural life and beauty.
The kids continue to like to break up into smaller groups and be with their
Chinese friends the most.
Sorry we do not have better internet and phone access. We are doing our best.
Please know that everyone is fine, even if they haven't called or emailed. Aside
from a few minor. Stomach, allergy and cold issuesn they are all doing just
great.
I continue to be proud of their ability to adapt to a very different culture and
place.
In the past few days they learned to fan dance, make music, paint and even
arrange flowers.
As a student explained to me last night, the idea behind this whole camp is to
foster relationships. He said as the students grow up and become businessmen and
women and leaders, they will understand their Asian friends, care about them and
" make decisions that will not hurt them."
