hi,
i surfed in from a friend's blog, and i was wondering if you'd mind me adding you?

im an international relations undergrad at ucdavis, and im quite interested in africa too. i sponsor a child in ghana, and i once tutored someone from sudan too. his essays on the political situations in sudan served as an eyeopener for me.

im also chinese (born in singapore, not china), and im seriously thinking about doing an exchange over to beijing u next year or so. i'd love to hear about china from you! (im assuming that you're studying in china too, right?)

hope to hear back from you! :)

No problem! I'm not sure if you'll find my journal very interesting though... 80% of my friends are people I know in real life...

I'm really interested in sponsoring a child... how did you get started?

I currently work in Beijing.

By the way, how did you find my journal. Do we have a mutual friend?

you can sponsor one via world vision. i started bc i was troubled by the violence in the world. heh.

i don't think u guys are mutual friends; more like, you posted something in a community and i went to sneek a peak at your blog.

I actually was 'referred' to you by loveprincess524 for information on your experience teaching in China. You are absolutely right about the atrocities in Darfur. And our government still claims ignorance about things, and remains all but inactive.

My partner and I are looking into teaching opportunities in China and South Korea. Anything you could tell me about your experience would be helpful.

I'm adding you. I hope that's ok.
