April 03, 2006 - NEWS - Beijing

Dear NHS,


These are the following news on the book project:

I have so far collected 30 books -

Inside the cover of EVERY book is a sheet filled out by a student in LuHe High School

The students are eager to receive the books from Vienna!



IMPORTANT NOTICE 1:

Books from the High School library will be too difficult to read, please send Middle School (Or Elementary School) books.



IMPORTANT NOTICE 2:

EVERY book that is sent should have an AIS students email (And filled out profile) with it -

The students here are eager to make friends with people from abroad -
... the books a simply a MEANS of making friends, an ice breaker - So students can learn about each others cultures.

The entire concept of the Book Exchange was based on stretching out your hand to a Chinese student, and not anonymously donating money or books.

Please understand that the students here in Beijing would like to be your friend and not be simply a student in China receiving donated books.


Thank you so much again for your help and cooperation!

I really appreciate it!
