Hi friends!

Hope you are all enjoying your summer time and are also having new experiences and maybe some fun!

The Lisan More Fun Education center has been very busy this summer and that has brought me to Wuhan, China many times.  In June, The Next Generation Working Committee, a department of China government hosted a conference in Wuhan on the topic of China Early Childhood Education Proseminar. In the conference, my Professor Feng Dequan, Modern China’s Father of Early Childhood education gave a two-day workshop for the participants as the main expert. 40 of our teachers from the Lisan More Fun Education Center in Ruichang made the 3 hour train trip to Wuhan for the conference. At the conference I received a happy surprise, receiving “The Distinguish Expert of The Next Generation Working Committee”. Our teachers learned many new information and teaching methods of ECH and they also helped introduce P4C (Philosophy for Children) to the audience of early childhood educators from China. I also gave a talk on early childhood character development and leadership.

Was so surprised to get the Certificate form The Next Generation Working Committee.

Our teachers took the group photo with Professor Feng. The 6^th woman in black and white from right on the second line is my mother. She got a certificate from China Early Childhood Education Association!

The summer has been mostly work for me, although I also discovered this magical hotel resort on East Lake in Wuhan. The place is peaceful with a lovely floating tea house and many antiques and artifacts from ancient China. That was a short break at the East Lake, a very famous nature view of China. I wish someday I can visit there again with APLPers :)

The lobby is like an art museum.

Welcome you guys come to Wuhan!

Love,
