Celebrating student leadership in Suzhou...

A team of Canadians came to Suzhou (about 90 minutes from Shanghai) to facilitate a We Stand youth leadership event this past Saturday. We took 9 Global Issues Network students to hear four keynote speakers and it was an inspiring day. The first speaker of the day was Albertan Chris Koch who was born without arms and legs. He is able to do anything that any other person can do, including work on his family farm and travel the world. His story was incredibly inspiring. We also wandered around old Suzhou and it was charming and beautiful. Spending a Saturday with students in this way is a wonderful blessing and privilege.
