Digging to China



Kev was just offered the opportunity of a lifetime by Golden Key, a national honor society. He has been nominated to join 40 other US college students (think Stanford, Harvard, Yale and UCLA) to be part of an Engineering Laureate program in China!!! They will be there talking about the 3 Gorges Dam and the global impact it will have. (This dam will make China the largest producer of hydro-electric power in the world!) And my hubby gets to go opine with the best of the best about it!
We are in the middle of massive fundraising so that he can go - but as long as he gets the funds, he will be there for 12 days right after school is out in May. I'm so proud of him I could bust buttons!
