WE are a New Zealand family that has traveled across the Pacific Ocean to Hubei Province in the very heart of China. Our desire is to encourage and assist young students in Zhongxiang city. In doing our best to help China, we have also gained from it invaluable experience that we will always treasure. We now feel ourselves to be true friends of this wonderful nation. It is in this spirit that I offer the following suggestions.My students are keenly awaiting Beijing 2008, the Chinese dream. There are great expectations of China, from its own people and leaders as well as from the rest of the world, that it make the most of this opportunity.
