The NiHao ambassadors have just wrapped up their incredible 10-day journey across China! They began their journey on the vibrant streets of Shenzhen, where they delved into the city's captivating history and remarkable economic growth. Then, the group ventured to the enchanting landscapes of Yunnan, where they immersed themselves in century-old cultural practices, from tie-dye techniques, to paper-making, to the art of three-course tea. They also had the privilege of visiting local elementary schools, sharing memorable moments with the children, and experiencing the warmth of local hospitality firsthand by staying in their homes and savoring their signature butter milk tea. Culminating their expedition in China’s capitol of Beijing, they visited the Forbidden City and mounted the legendary Great Wall. Special thanks to the sponsors whose generosity made this journey possible and to our dedicated group leaders for their support for our ambassadors every step of the way. As they return home, these young ambassadors cherished memories and lifelong friendships forged along the way. ❤️ NiHao Student Ambassadors volunteered at the UTD Gong Fu Panda Camp as teacher assistants. This camp teaches campers about Chinese culture and arts. NiHao interns took care of young campers and helped organize classes for camp instructors. Our ambassadors also developed their own leadership, problem solving, and Chinese language skills! We would like to thank the UTD Gong Fu Panda Camp for giving NiHao student ambassadors such a wonderful opportunity! 🌊🏮 NiHao was thrilled to participate in the Dragon Boat Festival hosted by the city of Dallas, National Association of Asian American Professionals, and Dallas Police Department at White Rock Lake as part of the AAPI Heritage events! Our NiHao ambassadors shared the art of traditional Chinese paper cutting with attendees, adding a cultural touch to the vibrant celebration. Thank you to everyone who joined us in honoring Asian American and Pacific Islander heritage! 🐉✂️ This past weekend, our team of volunteers came together and packed an incredible 30,200 nutritious meals to be distributed to families in need across our local communities. We're grateful to each and every volunteer who donated their time and energy. Your hard work will help ensure that no one in our area goes hungry. Events like these are a reminder of what can be accomplished when we join forces, and every meal packaged represents a life impacted and brings us one step closer to achieving food security for all.
