Think Pink

In honor of October being awareness month for breast cancer, the students created pink ribbon pins to share with the community. After assembling the pins, we had a field trip to seven local institutions in Mao to distribute the ribbons the kids made. The students visited two health clinics, two district of education headquarters, government offices, a city hall and one rice factory. We accidentally crashed at least three important-looking meetings for photo shoots with officials, were serenaded in city hall, and pinned a pink ribbon onto just about every person in sight. All in all, a successful Thursday morning. Enjoy our photos!
