Since 2003, Nan JunJun has taught the Chinese language to international students at Weifang University as well as English and is in charge of all foreign teachers and students. He arrived in Mantua Village this past August and will continue teaching Chinese through the end of the school year to Crestwood students in the high and intermediate schools. His family, wife and baby daughter, parents and younger brother are in China. Greatful to the Board of Education, his collegues, mentors and host family, he is enjoying teaching at Crestwood and says: "It's my honor teaching so many intelligent students....they are very curious about China and Asia....After three months they realized that the grammar of Chinese is not hard." He has also been introducing some Chinese culture that students like very much. "I hope that my teaching here can help the young people of two countried better understand each other and bring a better future and peaceful world to all of them. Right on. |

Almost five years ago I discovered the The National Civic League . I called their Denver office and learned (at that time) they worked exclusively with cities. Living in an Ohio township, I was disappointed, but they said "feel free to use any of our information". "Are you working to advance citizen democracy and good government in your community?
If so, the National Civic League can help. By informing, uniting and empowering citizens, we are making democratic institutions and systems more accountable, inclusive, and responsive to residents in thousands of communities across the country.
Theodore Roosevelt, Louis Brandeis, Marshall Field, and other visionaries founded NCL in 1894 to promote municipal reform and community democracy. NCL is a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization dedicated to building community. We help business, government, community groups (non-profits), and individuals work together to solve critical problems. We also serve as a resource for anyone interested in cutting-edge community building practices."
Sounds simple enough. What's a community? I think we are all part of larger communities starting with ourselves, families, neighborhoods, schools, churches, civic organizations (or any organization for that matter) city/township/village, county, state, nation, world, etc. The next question would be: As an individual and a community, are You surviving and thriving? It's May, 2008, in NEOhio. Gas is at $4.00 a gallon, food prices are increasing, many are just barely surviving, few are thriving, so I'm assuming a negative answer. |
