| A new Global Volunteers Team in China! |
With a delicious dinner on
Saturday evening, July 6th, Team #209 began their two-week journey in Kunming,
China. Global Volunteer Country Manager Baoli Wang was a welcome sight for
Myrle, Tom, Geni, Nora, Dia, and Fran. Anne has yet to discover what a delight
it is to work with this SUPERIOR LEADER.
On Sunday, July 7, 2013 we
breakfasted in the Golden Spring Hotel (GSH) before our team orientation. We do
love the GSH breakfast buffet as lots of different and interesting treats are
available. Our enthusiastic team decided our team goals were: to exchange
cultural understanding; to help with the English teachers’ fluency; to enjoy
Chinese food; to explore the city of Kunming; to have fun; and to connect with
the English teachers.
Our lunch after the morning
session introduced us to Gingko seeds, new to all of us but Baoli. Afternoon
trips included Myrle’s activation of his Chinese phone; Geni, Nora, Anne, and
Dia’s shopping excursion in the neighborhood; and Tom/Fran’s three-hour
roundtrip walk to Green Lake. Dinner included an introduction of spicy cauliflower
and new ways to present an orange on a platter.
