Future Hope Teacher Retreat

A couple of weeks ago the Future Hope teachers had a two-day training retreat at Gu Lang Yu, a small island just off of Xiamen's coast. Vera and I spent an afternoon with them.

After climbing Sunlight Rock we went to the aviary. Vera didn't want to get too close...

















...but this teacher didn't mind. Yes, she's putting an umbrella in the birds mouth!

















We finished the afternoon by playing on the beach.
