Master of Arts in Counseling Psychology ("MAC")

Faculty Exchange to China

Five faculty members from St. Martin's travelled to Sichuan Province in the heart of China to teach English to Chinese children and make some connections with Chinse education officials. 

Here I am with Dr. Jim Harmon, of Saint Martin's Engineering, at the Opening Ceremonies of the English Summer Camp in Deyang, Sichuan Province, China. It was a great beginning to a great five-weeks.

Teaching the marvelous children was one of the joys of my life. What eagerness to learn. They were innocent and sweet. It was really fun. 

I'm pointing at "Bob" (Anglicized name). We were sure he would eventually become the Premier of the People's Republic one day! Next to him is Andy, another gem. The little girls are Lucy and wonderful Daisy (far right). What wonderful children!

Next to the children, my favorite thing was the incredible Sichuan food! Our last luncheon in Deyang featured 21 different (and delicious) dishes. Incredible!

This "chicken soup," complete with a chicken head with a ginko bean in his beak, was one of the more unusual looking dishes. (And, yes, we ate the soup....)
