BACKGROUND
The More You Know, The More You Can Share!
I hope you are doing well. I am currently the Project Manager of this Project. I am working along side with my college classmate who is the Mission Lutheran Pastor, his wife and family FOR the past 37 years. He is on the Board of Directors for a new project in the makings for the past 6 years and at the final stages of completion. When I visited him last Spring, he introduced THE THRIFT STORE WORKFARE concept to me. It's a great idea and greatly needed in the Northern Cheyenne Indian Nation Reservation here in Lame Deer Montana. As he explained the concept and how he wanted to empower and build the self esteem of the people here, I thought something was missing - The Arts Cultural Aspect. Which I know would integrate the Project more closely related to the BEST of the all culture here on the Reservation: Culture Exchange through MUSIC, ART, and LITERATURE.
希望大家一切顺利。本人是该项目的项目经理。在过去的37年里，我和我的大学同学路德教会牧师，他的妻子和家人一起工作。他现在是新项目的董事会成员，该项目在过去6年里一直处于筹备阶段，目前正处于最后完成阶段。去年春天我去拜访他时，他向我介绍了旧货店工作福利的概念。这是一个很棒的主意，在蒙大拿州的夏安印第安人保留地非常需要它。当他解释这个概念和想要如何增强和建立这里的人们的自尊时，我觉得少了点东西--文化艺术观念。据我所知，这将使该项目与保留地最好的文化更紧密地结合在一起:通过音乐、艺术和文学进行文化交流。
My goal is to establish a working relationship with those who want something different for their people here on the Reservation and at the same time, create potential connections with other cultures mainly outside of the USA.
我致力于去和那些想要为留下来的人带来不一样感受的人建立合作关系，同时，也和美国以外的主要文化建立潜在的联系。
I have lived and worked in China since 2009 and have associations with colleges and universities, business owners, and import/export sales and marketing professionals. I also have associations with Learning Centers from preschool to high school. The Lions Club, musicians, artists, and many others who are interested in the CULTURE CONNECTION sharing.
我从2009年就到中国工作和生活了，与各大高校、企业家、进出口销售人员以及市场营销专业人员都有交集。
My concentration is in the areas of the world where I actually know people who share the same Values and Vision of Making a Difference for their culture and others around the world.
我一直在关注世界上的一些地方，在这些地方，我认识了一些和我有共同价值观以及共同愿景的人，那就是都致力于为自己国家文化以及其他国家文化带来不同的色彩。
AT PRESENT China, Africa, South America, North America, and hopefully New Zealand/Australia will join in this meaningful project.
目前，中国、非洲、南美、北美将会加入这个有意义的项目，也希望新西兰和澳大利亚能加入。
I would like to create some kind of connection with other cultures and Northern Cheyenne Indian Nation Culture...the possibilities are endless. Thank goodness for Video Conferencing. This is a great way to start -TALKING AND SHARING...this is the LITERATURE part of the connection. STORY TELLING!
我很想在其他文化和北部夏安族印第安人间建立联系......当然，这也是很有可能的。谢谢此次的视频会议，相信会是一个很好的开始....交流和分享，也是联系的文学形式之一。多讲故事吧！
Take care and I look forward to hearing your ideas and thoughts!

Respectfully yours,
