The Rural China Education Foundation experiments with teaching methods in many different subjects to help raise students' interest and motivation to learn. A pilot pen pal project between a rural Chinese elementary school and a California elementary school was designed to raise students' interest in learning about language and culture.

There is some great footage here of the home visits we did in Guan Ai, as well as the new library and classroom visits. The students were very engaged and asked good questions during our presentations and lessons that we did. It was really nice to see the children from Trinity and Guan Ai playing together, and learning each others' games. The tree planting and banner splitting were both very thoughtful: formal, and yet heartfelt gestures of friendship that were really nice to be apart of.
