2009 CHINA CULTURAL TOUR
POP's Foundation will host their 2nd China Cultural Trip in June 2009. In this economy, many people may be hesitant to travel, so they are glad that the Overseas Chinese Affairs Office of the State Council of the People's Republic of China and the Chinese Language and Culture Education Foundation will subsidize the cost of the trip this time. They will inform everyone with more details on the cost as soon as possible. As of now, the tentative date is set for June 19th, 2009. They plan to visit Beijing, Tianjin, the May 12th earthquake zone in Sichuan, and Yunnan, if possible. Since some of the places they intend to visit are not open to the public, they can only accommodate 150 people on this trip. There is a 10-year-old age requirement for the children to attend, just as last time.
If you are ready to make a reservation, please email to Maisie at 2009POPChinaCulturalTrip@gmail.com. Please also feel free to share your comments or suggestions. If you'd like to be updated on the 2009 China Cultural Trip, please also email to the same email address above. For more information about POP's Foundation, please visit www.popsfoundation.org.

JANE BROWN WORKSHOPS IN EUGENE NOV. 7-9
What do children think about their adoption stories? What tools can we give them to combat teasing, impertinent questions, and racism? Adoption Connections of Oregon (ACO) is hosting the creator of Adoption Playshops, Jane Brown, at its 7th Annual Conference November 7 – 9, 2008 in Eugene, Oregon.
Learn how children's understanding of adoption, race, and ethnicity unfolds developmentally at different ages and stages, and what adoptive parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, friends, educators, social workers and caretakers can and should do to help them through developing specialized skills that address the topics of loss and grief, racial differences, ethnic backgrounds, and culture-of-origin differences. Children Playshops give children five years and older, an opportunity to explore their own ideas about adoption and to interact with their peers. Jane uses multi-sensory games with props and puppets to let the children talk, learn about, and discuss their feelings about being adopted. She helps children understand that the questions and thoughts they have about adoption are normal and okay to talk about with their adopted peers and lets them acquire skills they can transfer to settings with non-adopted peers.
Space for the Children’s Playshops is limited. Pre-registration is required. Scholarships are available. Contact Adoption Connections of Oregon at (541) 345-4209 or e-mail elisecrum@comcast.net to sign up now to reserve your space, request a scholarship, or to register as an Exhibitor/Vendor. For more information, visit www.adoptionconnectionsoforegon.org.
