Here's a really great piece in Bloomberg that was published back in March — but that I just stumbled upon today — about air pollution in China. More specifically, it's about changes in which regions in China will experience the worst air pollution projecting into the future. The piece has some great visuals & interesting (but kind of depressing) information. Check it out!
Check out this short BBC piece about Abigail Washburn's latest musical adventure, The Wu-Force, here. (Yes, you get to hear the music!) Banjo, guzheng, singing in Chinese and English... it's pretty awesome. Here's the band's website, too.
Here's a bit of good news to kick off the school year! Stowe has been approved by the Department of Homeland Security to host students for semester-long or year-long exchange programs. We are really excited to bring some students from China into our school here to join us next year, in the fall of 2015. If your family is interested in the incredible experience of serving as a host family for a semester or the full school year, please get in touch with me! There will be a stipend provided to cover your expenses for hosting the student.
