Dear Fellow Realtors,

I have just learnt about a cultural exchange program for American high school students looking to understand more about the Chinese culture. If accepted, the 2-week program is fully paid for.

* Respectable Oriental English College and local munipal government are hosting a 2-week cultural exchange program this summer (July 12-25) in its Shenzhen (southern city) campus.
* Program is paid for by the host (accommodation, meal, transportation and medical insurance).
* Enrollment is competitive
* Accepted students will pay for their own air fare and an application fee of $200 - no other costs required. * DEADLINE FOR APPLICATION IS MAY 5.
* Students will be supervised at all times
* Parents can accompany students on campus
* Shenzhen municipal government will issue certificate upon completion of the program
* Excellent opportunity for students to gain first-hand cultural experience in China

Since time is running out, please help me spread the words. Motivated students should send me an email at steveywong@gmail.com. I'll forward the program description and application form ASAP.
