Nanbu appreciates SSTers

The seven SSTers in Nanbu continue to receive praise from the teachers and administrators at the Nanbu Middle School. When Steve visited them again this week, the local coordinating teacher emphasized that the school was pleased with their teaching and that host families all like having the Goshen students living with them. Four weeks ago, the Nanbu school administrators had expressed caution in accepting responsibility for hosting students, emphasizing that the school had never done anything like this and were unsure how foreigners would be willing to accommodate themselves to Chinese culture. A month later, any concerns are forgotten and stress that the SSTers represent themselves and their school in an ideal way. For their part, the SSTers are enjoying life in Nanbu and the eager students of Nanbu Middle School.
