Make friends with Chinese kids
Our students are not only making friend with their host family siblings, but also try to integrate into the community and interact with local kids. Here is a short video of Brendan playing soccer with a little Chinese boy. I am so glad our students feel comfortable interacting with others in different ways. Even though they are not practicing Chinese language, but they are enjoying their activities, sharing common interests and having fun across the border.
