Trip to the Village


Meet auntie Leslie. She is a friend of ours and she runs a project in a village outside of Tianjin training mothers in raising their babies both in physical health and other aspects of well being. Auntie Leslie is one of Lizzy's favorite people. Yesterday, we decided to go out to the village with her.

After a taxi ride to the train station, hour and a half train ride, more taxi rides, we finally arrived at the village site where we did the training.

Here are some of the mothers and their babies attending the training

After the training we went to somebody's home where they treated us to a big pot of jiao zi (dumplings)

It was a REALLY big pot of jiao zi - I've never seen anything like it! Lizzy got to see some animals in the village - cows, sheep, pigs, and she enjoyed playing with the children outside in the courtyard.

Thank you Aunti Leslie for a wonderful day!
