#37 Teaching at Taizhou Teachers College, China (The U.S. Postal M-Bag)

A number of you have written about the prohibitive cost of sending books and materials via air-mail to China. Please don't send anything by air-mail package. In the US, it is possible to request an "M"-bag at the local post office. It is literally a plastic sack, in which you may place a bound package of books. The rate is about 1/5 of regular mail and would arrive in about 8 weeks. No doubt, any donations to educational institutions are also tax deductable. Expense you incur for the shipment, I will gladly re-emburse, but please send suitable books in reasonably good condition.

Also appreciated would be various posters of any of the States, as well as US and world maps. Picture and photo calendars of cars, native animals, native landscapes, native flowers, etc. will help brighten our English Office and our English classes. Please let me know if I can do anything to make this more possible, and permit me to give you my address again, just in case you can help make it happen.

You are welcome to write a personal message to my email at: s_hans@bellsouth.net
Thank you Maria Sabando for what you are trying to do and perhaps once school starts, you and Veronika Carrasco, from my former 2nd Period, can join forces. Veronika also expressed a great willingness to gather some materials. Thank you, Veronika.
You can't imagine how much all this will be appreciated by the students and teachers here, who learn and teach English with only the basics.
