Julie and I stayed in Beijing to wait out the riots in Tibet. Now that things have calmed down, we are going back to Qinghai. Before I get into our trip back to Qinghai, let me update you on what we've been doing here in Beijing. Last week Julie and I spent created a volunteer training program for HBV volunteers. The volunteer program is called Sunshine Volunteers.�A few years ago the Beijing HBV Foundation set it up to promote HBV awareness amongst college students in China. This year the Foundation asked us to put together a training program for the new volunteers. They wanted us to utilize training experiences from the US to create a fun and interactive training program. Julie and I dug through our previous experiences, asked some friends and came up with a training program with a lot of interactive games. We also brainstormed various HBV promotion activities they could organize on their own college campuses. The training session was a great hit. The volunteers had a lot fun, learned a lot and were excited to put together their own campus activities.

Tomorrow Julie and I are returning to Qinghai for a week. We will be assisting with the education program in Xining and monitoring the final shot in the 3 shot HBV series.
