And now we are home...

We've returned to Bullis School, with pictures and stories to share with the community.
For the participants, this was truly a "trip of a lifetime."
We have come away with a better understanding of our International Students, having visited their parents and their home cities.  We now appreciate the sacrifices the families make to send their children 10,000 miles away and we better understand the Chinese educational system.

Appreciation is due to:

• Ms. Xiumin Overall, for planning all aspects of the trip, coordinating with the local guides and families and keeping us on time and on schedule.
• Dr. Gerald Boarman, for connecting Bullis School with so many Chinese families and the local school in Lijiang, and providing the opportunity for the teachers to explore China.
• The Chinese host families, who introduced us to incredible cuisine, The Great Wall, giant pandas and so many unique aspects of Chinese history and culture.
