Shelterbox Delivery
The girl in the photo is Wu Jiuli,
22. She is from a Sichuan village of just about 100 people and she
just graduated from Chongqing's Southwest University with a degree
in English. She and Tony Zhang weere Interplast volunteers so I
know their work history. I recruited her andTony Zhang to be the
volunteer translators for Shelter Box which they served with
distinction. Jiuli is taking a year off from her guaranteed
graduate school track to teach high school students in Wu Shan, a
very poor region near the Three Little Gorges in Chongqing. Jiiuli
intends to apply for the 2009-2010 Ambassadorial Scholarship. I
wish there are more students like her in China.
