confidence…The adult classes were outstanding, particularly
having instruction and then going on the field trips was a great
format….We were so fortunate to find this program. It is so much
more than offering a sightseeing tour to China. From the time my
daughter was put in my arms, I had a goal that we would one day
experience the wonders of China together. Jianping and Julian
(HXICE staff) made this dream come true.”

"The program has allowed us to see the (Mandarin) language
with Chinese speaking children and experience various aspects
of ‘being Chinese’ and living in China and its rich culture….Since
we have been home, my daughter’s interest in China has
grown…She now tells me that she wants to learn to speak
Chinese fluently…She sings the Chinese songs she learned
almost daily and loves the poems that were taught....Having such
accomplished instructors who were not only professionals but
also famous in their fields was above and beyond my
expectations. We thank you for providing an extraordinary
experience.”

"Mimi (9 years old) and I had always planned a trip to China
when she was nine. I wanted her to have some time with children,
but not just hanging around with westernized kids or touring
around cities, etc…We had a great time as it was all just one big
novel.”

"Our goals for participating in the 2005 Summer Fun in China
Program were: “1) To have an immersion experience; 2) For Joel
(Dad) to play music with (Chinese) musicians; 3) Give Gia
(daughter, 9 years old) a cultural experience of China.”

"We participated in the 2005 Summer Fun in China Program
in order “for Polly (daughter, 4.5 years old) to spend extended
time with her peers in China and improve the Chinese
language…She ended the program with much more self-
confidence.”

Our son, Jack, enjoyed it all and this is what he said about the
program: “I really loved the Summer Fun in China program. I
made a lot of friends and they (the instructors) taught things very
well. I liked it that they (the instructors) punished me very nicely
when I fooled around in class. They gave me a lot of chances. I
felt the teachers cared about me.” after the program ended, Jack
was asked how he felt about the program’s purpose and he said:
“If every person was a seed of love attached on a string around
the Earth, we would all be connected with a necklace of love and
we’d have a world of peace.”
