Hello family and friends of the 2011 China team!  

The China Service-Learning Team made its way safely to Cleveland Hopkins Airport, arriving around 7:00 a.m. this morning.  Dr. Stephen Moroney and I served as “chauffeurs.”  Co-leaders Dr. Donghai Chen and recent Malone graduate Monica Small and the entire team are excited about the coming two weeks.  Look for updates about their adventures from Dr. Chen in the days ahead and please feel free to post comments!

The team members will visit, entertain at and work in the orphanages such as the Light and Love School near Beijing and a house for older orphans in the Shanghai during the trip. This blog is one of the ways for the members to keep communicating with their families, relatives, and friends. We will try to keep them posted as we are traveling through China.
