  Though I've been in Beijing for 8 months, I finally decided to stop by for a meeting a couple months ago. I've been to two now. Both were worthwhile. A guest speaker spoke about the different excursions that can be taken in Beijing. Another showed us how to make dumplings. Every month's meeting seems to have informative speakers to enhance your Beijing-knowledge and expat get-aroundness.

AS&P has just opened a new school for disadvantaged youth and now they can furnish it! MSCHope has more funds to add to the building budget for their hospital for orphans and poor children in need of medical help. Bethel has just changed locations and can now purchase much needed equipment. Huiling will also purchase new learning materials for their center. UNICEF will provide another group of underprivileged children with a clean drinking water opportunity. And Magic Hospital will bring smiles and laughter to many more hospitalized children!
