Farewell ceremony

Our ‘graduation’ ceremony was held this morning, attended by mostly the same officials as our welcoming ceremony, but wth the addition of Liu Guozhi 刘国枝, head of the International Department at Hubei University. Rebecca gave a wonderful speech on behalf of the six of us, and then each of us spoke briefly about how much we have enjoyed our three-week stay here in Hubei province. We were each awarded a certificate and given a beautiful porcelain USB stick, by the university, and then we gave gifts to all of the officials and all of our wonderful teachers who have taught us so much in the last few weeks. Enduring relationships have been forged – I would definitely love to return to Wuhan with my family and with students too. There is so much here to see and do and learn.
