The Polks in China – July 2011
Yes, you read that right. All three Polks will be traveling to China this summer! We are so very excited about the opportunity and are grateful for Agnes and Dennis Tang who had the vision and extended the invitation to join their team.
Shelley
Shelley, along with several other educators and graduate students, will participate in training teachers of English. The training event is hosted by the Chinese Ministry of Education.
Jon
Jon will provide technical support for the English teacher training as well as function as the team documentarian – through photos, video, and web/email updates. Jon will also assist the other “non-educators” on the team with several “English camps” for Chinese students.
Janae
Janae will be broadening her horizons and expanding her worldview! And most importantly, experiencing what it is like to share with and get to know people who are very different from us. She just may be the most excited one of all three of us!
