Hohhot Camp Update

Welcome to the camp Hohhot blog and the news update. We will try to post as much as possible depending on the internet access.

This will be the first time Bridging The World has done a camp in Hohhot, the capital of Inner Mongolia.

We are looking forward to teaching in this new area. The Bridging The World team will be made up of 12 team members. Our team is from all over the USA – MO, VA, PA, NC, FL, NJ, VT, and OH. Of those 12 only three are newcomers so we will have a veteran team to serve and teach ESL in Hohhot.   

A Summer Camp update for all teams. The camp T-Shirts, books, pamphlets, and flight information are ready and will be mailed sometime this afternoon to most team members. Some are being hand delivered during the next few weeks. 

All of the passports and visa applications have been sent to the agency. Your passport with the visa stamped inside should be arriving no later than the end of this month. 

This past Saturday, March 11, 2017, we had a great BTW Summer Camp reunion and honorarium time for 15 years of service for Chris and Woody.

Close to 100 people made the trip from out of town and locally to participate. Past camp participants came from some of the following locations: MD, PA, NC, SC,  and VA. Many more who could not make the trip wrote cards, letters and emails. We even had a video sent from the Bridging The World team in China.
