So here is the deal. I really wish that I could sit down with all of you and just tell you the stories of what's been going on with China, but here is the gist of it: I'm going back to China for 11 months to teach English. I don't know yet where in China I'll be (although I am really excited to find out!) If you want to hear more stories, feel free to leave me a comment or email or whatever! :) We're scheduled to fly out on July 30th. Until that time, I have work to do getting my certification to teach English (through Wheaton) and fundraising.
Here's what I need from you to make this happen.
Prayer. It's going to a time full of crazy adventures (as anyone from my CSP group knows!) that I can't even anticipate.
Money. Going to China, and getting certification to teach, and all that jazz is expensive and I need to raise about $1400 for each month that I'm going to be there. Here's my suggestion... think about committing to giving a manageable amount each month, something like $30 or $50. That's like a tank of gas. :) If you would be willing to partner with me this way, or want to talk more about what your money would be going towards, again, shoot me a message. I'd be glad to talk more... I really cannot do this without you. Following this link will take you to a site to donate online.
Ideas. Especially once I find out what age and area I'm going to be working in, I would love to have your input on what things I ought to be taking/cool ideas for teaching/activities. (The current list is under the tab called China packing list/ideas.)
And that, my friends, is that! (Until next time. ^_^)
