Wow! That’s great. I’ve actually become aware of the similarities between rural China and the inner cities of the United States and am thinking about focusing graduate study to this idea. One large difference between the two is the involvement of community. In rural areas, people are more keen to changes being made to their way of life (especially coming from the outside like NGO’s) and can be weary of them and respond slowly however, they are aware. In contrast, one of the major problems in US inner cities is the the communities don’t show a vested interest in systemic change due to a variety of socioeconomic and historical embedded factors. The most glaring example of this is in education. This is the area I would like to focus my inquiry on. How can community involvement and awareness in rural areas and inner cities be promoted in positive ways? Please stay in touch with any news information you get regarding this topic.

Thanks!
