Well, now that my younger daughter is a married lady:) and I have spent most of a week with my older daughter and her boyfriend in Palo Alto - it is time to get organized for China.
But first to finish my little story about "getting certified" to receive foreign students. Our school is now more than half way through the process, since we have had our "site visit" after completing our forms and paying the $580 fee. Mr. Feucht was very kind and helped me out when I stumbled on an answer or two - for which I was very grateful. Now we just have to wait for the powers that be to review our file (the pile of stuff we gave them to show that we are legitimate).
In the meantime, I will be working on scaring up $25,000 for her tuition - which is what it costs the State of Washington to provide special education for one year for a blind student at our school. I have a couple of leads already and have raised about $7000 so far - but please let me know if you have any ideas (or lose cash!). I have confidence that this money will appear if Li Qin is meant to be at our school for a year, which I believe to be the case:) All prayers for success gratefully accepted.
On a happy note, I got a comment on my last blog from Kim, who is going to Bethel with her husband and 2 older children to pick up Pei Fang, whom they are adopting. She is a doll an will find a loving home with Kim, Tony and their four beautiful biological children. They will be at Bethel at the same time as me, so we are very excited to meet each other after having communicated online.
Above you will see a photo of Li Qin participating in a cooking class.
