A day in western Hunan — visiting an Innovation Grants project
RCEF is supporting the Miao Support Net, an organization in western Hunan, to organize training for rural teachers. The organization is completely initiated and run by local teachers.

Library opening in Guozhuang!
I’ve just returned from a visit to Guozhuang village, where a brand new RCEF-sponsored library was just opened. The village had held a “book giving ceremony” as part of the Chinese New Year festivities. Afterwards, the village committee invited booklovers in the village to come together and decide how to encourage reading in the village. [...]

This is an important question, because digging down to discover our deepest motivations can help us keep sight of why we are doing this despite the frustration and challenges and sustain us for the long haul.

两个哈佛的女研究生给马克老师拎行李
A post from Mark, teacher at Fuxin School. (Copied from the Fuxin bbs: http://www.fuxin.org/bbs/a/a.asp?B=3&ID=21) [原创]两个哈佛的女研究生给马克老师拎行李 昨天马克老师和张勇老老师离开复新，一起离开学校的还有乡村教育促进会（RCEF)的Sara ， Diane和江鹏,我们一同坐车从高公去涡阳，在店集镇修桥的地方要倒车，我的行李比较多，结果我们贤惠的Sara 和 Diane 也帮忙拎我的行李。结果就上演了一幕两个哈佛的女研究生给马克老师拎行李的2008新年贺岁片。导演是马克老师，女主演是 Sara Lam ，Diane Geng, 男主演是Peng Jiang(From China), Yong Zhang (from Shanghai). 想起了美国大萧条时期哈佛的毕业生当电梯值班员了。还有老秘ST（原天安房地产公司老总）也帮马克老师收拾过房间，真是感触很多，耳边又响起了那熟悉的旋律：复新啊，复新啊，你把我和世界啊紧紧相连。。。。。。。。。希望在学校的老师们加油！关心学校的人们也要更加对学校有信心。新年快乐。
