“Hi Jing,
I hope the end of summer is treating you well. My son had such an amazing time in China this summer and gained
a lot in both Chinese language and culture. He shared many stories with us, his teachers and friends. What an
incredible journey! We live in Maine—such remote place, thank you, your school and CI team for providing such a
special opportunity to Maine children!” ---Heidi, Jack’s mother “Dear Jing, ...... I also want to thank you and everyone involved with the trip to China this summer. It was not on our radar at all before you reached out to us. Tenzin son had such an amazing time and has been talking to himself in mandarin ever since he got back. Such an amazing opportunity you gave him and the fact that you opened it up to his friend Effie who lives in New Hampshire as well was very special. They are planning to do a presentation to their school. ...” -- Will, Tenzin’d Father -- Will, Tenzin’s Father "I just wanted to say Thank you for including Effie in your trip this summer. She is beyond grateful for the experience and loved everything. She learned so much and her language skills have improved." ---Maggie, Effie's mother "Dear Jing, I have been meaning to write to you to say thank you for all you did to make Henry’s experience in China so wonderful. I realize a trip like this takes a lot of time and effort to organize and I just wanted to acknowledge to you how grateful I am that Henry was part of the Bangor Chinese summer program. For Henry, everything went so smoothly! I would also like to acknowledge the graciousness of the host families. Henry learned a lot from each one of the families and left China with a number of sincere friendships. Henry considered his host families the same as his own family. It was nice to hear all about the traditions and care they took on behalf of Henry. It was certainly a trip of a lifetime!"---Regina "Hello, I want you to know how wonderful the trip was for Tyler and how excited he is to apply to the year long program. Tyler loved the trip. The trip was well organized, properly chaperoned, and had a high quality of learning involved. Tyler appreciated having homework and deadlines because it helped him manage his learning. He thought everyone worked hard to provide a educational and cultural experience. It is an amazing program that should be offered to students in Maine. I hope more students will take this great opportunity."---Jennifer |
