The Doumen team thanks host families

Building relationships is a focus with our trip. For nine years in Doumen each team was hosted by a Chinese family. At the end of the camp a "thank your" banquet is held for the host families.

Jumbo, the senior administrator for English teachers in Doumen thanks the host families.

In typical Chinese fashion a toast is offered - "friends forever."

This is the fourth time Charlie has stayed with Sam and his family. Charlie first met Sam on his first night in China nine years ago.

Everyone has a camera!!
