Well, here it is, October 7th. Tomorrow at 7:15 a.m. I am scheduled to take off from the RI airport for China once again. I hope to post to this blog occasionally, considering the technological challenges I faced last year, not sure how often that will be. Anyway, I wanted to start a new blog but time does not allow. Just this week we experienced the death of a friend's grand daughter so lots of things just didn't get done on time. Please pray for the Binder / Roberts family!
The trip will begin in the city of Guangzhou, aka Canton on Thursday the 9th. I will arrive at the Zhaoqing University on Saturday where I stayed last year. Return is scheduled for Nov. 5th. Again I will provide a couple of workshops at the school for the deaf there. This year we will focus on teaching science and expository writing skills to deaf students. Additionally, I plan to visit John Wotherspoon at his NEW school called "Marco Polo School". It is worth visiting his website if you want to get the real feel of China at the street level. His website is China8.org. Look for "John's diary". He keeps it quite current.
I want to thank Jeff / Fu de Ming again for his willingness to assist in everything. He is one incredible person and a gift in my life. Also, thanks especially to Helen Litterst at the RI School for the Deaf. Helen has been just great. Additionally, this year, Me Me Meadows lent an assist in the development of the writing workshop. Thanks, Me Me!
I hope to hear from some or all of you! Bye for now.

Hey Frank! Have a wonderful trip and say "Hi" to everyone you meet.
Craig and I wish you many adventures and friendships during your journey.
Hi Janet, Craig, thanks for the note. Zhaoqing and all the activities are just great. It's still summer here so just melting away to nothing. Hi to everyone at Mt. Anthony for me. Frank
