<p align="center">MBA留学：Cal Poly</p>
<p align="left">不管是中国学生还是外国学生，大家都有一个梦想就是出国留学。我们载梦博客的一个目标就是通过提供信息和资金支持来帮助那些学生梦想成真。这是这个系列的第一章节，在这个系列里我们会给大家介绍我们认为适合留学的中国，美国，加拿到，英国和澳大利亚的一些学校。<br />
顶尖拳手通常会被体育评论家们拿来同与该选手不同重量级（通常是高于该选手的重量级）的选手进行比较，并将他们归类为“泛级别排名”的最佳或最全面的拳手。我们可以拿这个来比喻全球的MBA课程，尤其是针对中国的那些。

<p align="left">早在跟加州州立理工大学成为合作伙伴之前，大卫和彦志有过一次和该校奥法里商学院——全美“泛级别排名”最好的国际商学院——的学生于老师们交流的经历。坐落于圣路易欧比斯波的加州州立理工大学奥法里商学院提供给中国和其他国家的学生一个为期一年的学习项目。其工商管理硕士的课程是针对中国的国际贸易而开设的，并在学期末提供学生一个为期一个月的中国文化商务旅行。合格的学生将会走访中国的中小企业、工厂、教育机构、著名的跨国集团，例如：沃尔玛，联想，金沙/威尼斯人。今年他们爬了长城，走访了水乡周庄，参观了联合国教科文组织保护名录下的澳门前葡萄牙殖民地遗址。</p>
<p align="left">所有学生的工商管理硕士的课程都将在加州最安全和最美丽的地区完成。这个项目的学费会比其他相对更有名气的学校的学费少。现在的加州州立理工大学可以说是宝物蒙尘，但依托其世界一流的师资力量和不断创新的学科建设，这件宝物即将被世人发掘。</p>

		<description><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://blogofdreams.com/wp-content/uploads/nl_image_summer2008.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-885 aligncenter" title="nl_image_summer2008" src="http://blogofdreams.com/wp-content/uploads/nl_image_summer2008.jpg" alt="Library Project " width="500" height="197" /></a></p>
<p>I never stop being astonished at what Thomas Stader and the Library Project accomplish. TLP is a testament to the power of good social marketing. More importantly the group delivers more than it promises.</p>
<p>Here is a letter from Thomas about their recent work:</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 16pt;"><span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I am so proud of what The Library Project has accomplished over the past three months. We have far exceeded <strong>The Library Project&#8217;s goals and expectations</strong>. There is so much to share &#8211; from an incredible and growing list of elementary schools which have benefited from new libraries to how you can get involved in helping to improve the lives of China’s rural children.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 16pt;"><span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Before we start sharing our library’s successes, I would like to discuss how The Library Project is providing assistance to the people affected by the recent earthquake in China. On May 12, 2008 China experienced a 7.9 earthquake in Sichuan Province, located in central China, 70,000 people died, and over five million people were left homeless. Thousands of elementary schools were damaged in Sichuan, Gansu, and Shaanxi Provinces. The Library Project will continue to do all we can by providing books and libraries to elementary schools and orphanages by way of our new <strong>2008 Earthquake Program</strong>. The Library Project will be providing our first libraries to six &#8220;tent schools&#8221; located 25 km from the epicenter. To learn more about this program, please click <a rel="nofollow" href="http://library-project.org">here</a><a href="http://library-project.org">.</a></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 16pt;"><span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Over the past three months The Library Project created twenty-five school libraries and donated more than thirty thousand books. Each of the twenty-five schools received a wide range of high quality children’s books including: history, science, short stories, fairy tales, reference books and comics. We also provided a full set of children’s encyclopedias for older students and pinyin language books for the kids just learning to read. The Library Project also provided colorful child-safe tables and chairs, posters and a world globe to all the classroom and/or library rooms.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 16pt;"><span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">These fabulous new libraries are located throughout China in the countryside of Shaanxi, Anhui, and Gansu Provinces. At each library site, The Library Project held book drives, which collected over thirty thousand quality second-hand books from local donors. We also purchased over ten thousand first-hand books from Xin Hua Books Stores at just $1 a book.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 16pt;"><span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">In addition to books and supplies, the school librarians received library management training. Since most rural elementary schools have never had a single book in their libraries our Librarian Training Program gets them up to speed starting day one.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 16pt;"><span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The Library Project is very happy to announce that Scott Perkins and Nicholas Ingleton have joined our Board of Directors. Scott Perkins is President and CEO of Connectify Networks based in San Francisco, California. Nicholas Ingleton has lived in Asia for 50 years and currently is a director of Aston Holdings (Overseas) Limited in Hong Kong and Aston Associates Limited in Beijing. I am honored to have them a part of our growing team.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 16pt;"><span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">In addition to providing libraries to twenty-five elementary schools in rural China, we have had over twenty small awareness and fundraising events since March. Our volunteers hosted most of these events around Asia and the world. For example, Celia held an all women’s wine tasting in Beijing that raised enough funds for one library. Siok Siok Tan has been doing charity screenings of her new documentary on the 2008 Beijing Olympics, “Booming Beijing” and raised enough funds for five libraries. Sophia and Eric organized an event at Kommune (great Ozzie BBQ) and a lecture on ”rural education in China” at the Glamour Bar, both in Shanghai. We raised enough funds at these two events for libraries in two different rural elementary schools. I would also like to thank everyone that came out to our San Francisco, Phoenix and New Jersey events. We raised enough for seven libraries during that USA fundraising run! Finally, a huge thank you goes out to Napoleon and Marcel in Hong Kong for organizing our lecture at Web Wednesdays and the XL Results Foundation. We raised enough for three libraries at these events. Thank you everyone for your hard work and dedication!</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 16pt;"><strong><span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">WE NEED YOUR HELP</span></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 16pt;"><span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">There are three ways to get involved:</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 16pt;"><span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><strong>Help by spreading the word.</strong> You can help out in so many ways. Forward this newsletter to your friends, family members and coworkers, make a post on your MySpace page, blog to help raise awareness for The Library Project, or join our Facebook Group by clicking here. You can also help by hosting a small event at your home, work or local restaurant. . If you need help organizing a fundraiser, please contact me anytime at <a rel="nofollow" href="http://us.mc906.mail.yahoo.com/mc/compose?to=tom@library-project.org" target="_blank">tom at library-project.org</a>. Thank you!</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 16pt;"><span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><strong>Help by volunteering.</strong> You can make a huge difference in the lives of countless children in the developing world by becoming a volunteer. There are so many different ways to volunteer: you can throw a wine tasting or dinner to introduce The Library Project to others, hang a poster above the water cooler at your office, or introduce us to your company’s HR Department.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 16pt;"><span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><strong>Help by making a donation.</strong> Without money, we can&#8217;t buy books. At a dollar a book, most of us can afford to buy 10, 20 or even 100 books. Make a <a href="http://blogofdreams.com/survivorthon ">donation</a> and help bring the gift of education to countless children. Our libraries generally contain about 500 &#8211; 1000 books, thus every donated book (or dollar) helps!</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 16pt;"><span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Lastly, please check out some of our new products. We created 50 book, 100 book, 250 book and 500 book gift cards available at $1 a book. Each card also has a beautiful picture of a library we have donated. The gift cards are a perfect gift idea. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 16pt;"><span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The Library Project is a non-profit organization. Your donation is 100% tax deductible. Thank you in advance for your kind support of our efforts.</span></p>

<p>I never stop being astonished at what Thomas Stader and the Library Project accomplish. TLP is a testament to the power of good social marketing. More importantly the group delivers more than it promises.</p>
<p>Here is a letter from Thomas about their recent work:</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 16pt;"><span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I am so proud of what The Library Project has accomplished over the past three months. We have far exceeded <strong>The Library Project&#8217;s goals and expectations</strong>. There is so much to share &#8211; from an incredible and growing list of elementary schools which have benefited from new libraries to how you can get involved in helping to improve the lives of China’s rural children.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 16pt;"><span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Before we start sharing our library’s successes, I would like to discuss how The Library Project is providing assistance to the people affected by the recent earthquake in China. On May 12, 2008 China experienced a 7.9 earthquake in Sichuan Province, located in central China, 70,000 people died, and over five million people were left homeless. Thousands of elementary schools were damaged in Sichuan, Gansu, and Shaanxi Provinces. The Library Project will continue to do all we can by providing books and libraries to elementary schools and orphanages by way of our new <strong>2008 Earthquake Program</strong>. The Library Project will be providing our first libraries to six &#8220;tent schools&#8221; located 25 km from the epicenter. To learn more about this program, please click <a rel="nofollow" href="http://library-project.org">here</a><a href="http://library-project.org">.</a></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 16pt;"><span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Over the past three months The Library Project created twenty-five school libraries and donated more than thirty thousand books. Each of the twenty-five schools received a wide range of high quality children’s books including: history, science, short stories, fairy tales, reference books and comics. We also provided a full set of children’s encyclopedias for older students and pinyin language books for the kids just learning to read. The Library Project also provided colorful child-safe tables and chairs, posters and a world globe to all the classroom and/or library rooms.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 16pt;"><span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">These fabulous new libraries are located throughout China in the countryside of Shaanxi, Anhui, and Gansu Provinces. At each library site, The Library Project held book drives, which collected over thirty thousand quality second-hand books from local donors. We also purchased over ten thousand first-hand books from Xin Hua Books Stores at just $1 a book.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 16pt;"><span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">In addition to books and supplies, the school librarians received library management training. Since most rural elementary schools have never had a single book in their libraries our Librarian Training Program gets them up to speed starting day one.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 16pt;"><span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The Library Project is very happy to announce that Scott Perkins and Nicholas Ingleton have joined our Board of Directors. Scott Perkins is President and CEO of Connectify Networks based in San Francisco, California. Nicholas Ingleton has lived in Asia for 50 years and currently is a director of Aston Holdings (Overseas) Limited in Hong Kong and Aston Associates Limited in Beijing. I am honored to have them a part of our growing team.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 16pt;"><span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">In addition to providing libraries to twenty-five elementary schools in rural China, we have had over twenty small awareness and fundraising events since March. Our volunteers hosted most of these events around Asia and the world. For example, Celia held an all women’s wine tasting in Beijing that raised enough funds for one library. Siok Siok Tan has been doing charity screenings of her new documentary on the 2008 Beijing Olympics, “Booming Beijing” and raised enough funds for five libraries. Sophia and Eric organized an event at Kommune (great Ozzie BBQ) and a lecture on ”rural education in China” at the Glamour Bar, both in Shanghai. We raised enough funds at these two events for libraries in two different rural elementary schools. I would also like to thank everyone that came out to our San Francisco, Phoenix and New Jersey events. We raised enough for seven libraries during that USA fundraising run! Finally, a huge thank you goes out to Napoleon and Marcel in Hong Kong for organizing our lecture at Web Wednesdays and the XL Results Foundation. We raised enough for three libraries at these events. Thank you everyone for your hard work and dedication!</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 16pt;"><strong><span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">WE NEED YOUR HELP</span></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 16pt;"><span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">There are three ways to get involved:</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 16pt;"><span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><strong>Help by spreading the word.</strong> You can help out in so many ways. Forward this newsletter to your friends, family members and coworkers, make a post on your MySpace page, blog to help raise awareness for The Library Project, or join our Facebook Group by clicking here. You can also help by hosting a small event at your home, work or local restaurant. . If you need help organizing a fundraiser, please contact me anytime at <a rel="nofollow" href="http://us.mc906.mail.yahoo.com/mc/compose?to=tom@library-project.org" target="_blank">tom at library-project.org</a>. Thank you!</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 16pt;"><span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><strong>Help by volunteering.</strong> You can make a huge difference in the lives of countless children in the developing world by becoming a volunteer. There are so many different ways to volunteer: you can throw a wine tasting or dinner to introduce The Library Project to others, hang a poster above the water cooler at your office, or introduce us to your company’s HR Department.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 16pt;"><span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><strong>Help by making a donation.</strong> Without money, we can&#8217;t buy books. At a dollar a book, most of us can afford to buy 10, 20 or even 100 books. Make a <a href="http://blogofdreams.com/survivorthon ">donation</a> and help bring the gift of education to countless children. Our libraries generally contain about 500 &#8211; 1000 books, thus every donated book (or dollar) helps!</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 16pt;"><span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Lastly, please check out some of our new products. We created 50 book, 100 book, 250 book and 500 book gift cards available at $1 a book. Each card also has a beautiful picture of a library we have donated. The gift cards are a perfect gift idea. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 16pt;"><span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The Library Project is a non-profit organization. Your donation is 100% tax deductible. Thank you in advance for your kind support of our efforts.</span></p>

		<description><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://blogofdreams.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/12/image_main_271.jpg" alt="china charity project" width="500" height="197" /><br />
Recently, I was able to complete an interview with Thomas Stader, founder of a <a href="http://library-project.org">Chinese charity organization</a> that helps to build libraries.  Here are his words about some of the latest work the Library Project has been working on.</p>
<p><em>Can you tell us a little bit about the Library Project?</em></p>
<p>The Library Project provides books and libraries to under-financed countryside elementary schools in China.</p>
<p>I founded The Library Project because I found that most countryside elementary schools in China were lacking books that the children could physically read. What I mean by that is, most books in a countryside elementary school were written for university and high school students. They also lack any kind of reading area for the children to curl up with a book. What we do is very simple, we donate colorful, relevant, hi-quallity books to countryside elementary schools, while also ensuring that they have a safe and fun area to read the books in.</p>
<p><img src="http://blogofdreams.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/12/img_0974.jpg" alt="china library" width="250" height="188" /></p>
<p><em>I understand that often children&#8217;s libraries in China aren&#8217;t often stocked with good children&#8217;s books and are often cramped or uncomfortable.  Can you tell us more about that?<br />
</em></p>
<p>In general, we have found a complete lack of children&#8217;s books with PinYin for young learners. A child absolutely needs PinYin to read during grades 1 &#8211; 3. So that is our first obstacle that we must overcome. Our second is a complete lack of a comfortable library for the children to gather as a class and read a book. Most schools have a room set aside for a library, but they don&#8217;t have the funding to fill the room with furniture.</p>
<p>What we have found is, once we bring books that the children can read, along with tables and chairs for a library, the children love it.</p>
<p><img src="http://blogofdreams.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/12/img_1211.jpg" alt="china library charity" width="250" height="188" /></p>
<p><em>Cool. I understand you&#8217;ve made a lot of big developments in the past year, right?</em></p>
<p>Yes we have. We have provided our first ten libraries, with plans of reaching a goal of over 80 by the end of 2008.</p>
<p><em>That sounds like a big commitment. Isn&#8217;t it costly to build a library?</em></p>
<p>The cost is quite low. Most libraries will cost between 4,000 and 8,000 RMB. This includes hi-quality Chinese language children&#8217;s books, colorful chairs, sturdy tables, globes, plants, posters, and all logistic costs such as trucks.</p>
<p><em>What all goes into the building of a library?  What kind of cost is there in terms of money, time, and other resources?</em></p>
<p>From beginning to end, it takes about one month. That includes our Pre-Assessment, purchasing of books and furniture, and final delivery of the library. We usually have a group of about 5 &#8211; 15 volunteers helping with the final delivery. Once we set up the library, we introduce the children to their new library and play games. It&#8217;s a lot of fun for both the children and the volunteers.</p>
<p><em>I also understand that you cooperate with local charities to create community support and interest for your project.  Have you found that local communities and organizations are helpful and willing to be involved?<br />
</em></p>
<p>That is true. We have partnered with the Xi&#8217;an Charity Association to provide libraries to the regions of the ShaanXi Province that they are working in. They are a huge help. We also run community based book collections through Aston English of China. They are one of the largest private English language schools in China, with schools in over 40 cities. We hope to hold book drives in each of those cities annually, and then take those Chinese language children&#8217;s books and get them into countryside elementary schools. Aston English has made a major commitment to giving back in China.</p>
<p><em>I understand you recently made a trip to Shanghai and had some exciting opportunities crop up for you there.  How exactly did all of that come about?<br />
</em></p>
<p>That is true. <a href="http://www.rhsmith-umd.cn/">The University of Maryland&#8217;s Smith School of Business in Shanghai</a> has been absolutely amazing. On November 24th, the Smith School of Business hosted a charity fundraiser in Shanghai that raised enough funds to provide twelve schools with full libraries. They got Black and Decker, Microsoft, Storm Case, Grainger, Grace, Under Armour, The Children&#8217;s Place, Jaguar, Avon, and Land Rover, among many others, involved.</p>
<p><img src="http://blogofdreams.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/12/img_1605.jpg" alt="China EMBA" width="250" height="188" /></p>
<p>The University of Maryland&#8217;s Smith School of Business in Shanghai and their <a href="http://www.rhsmith-umd.cn/">China EMBA </a>program have really made a difference in the lives of thousands of children living in the countryside of China.</p>
<p><em>Where will the funds you raised in Shanghai go and how will they be used?</em></p>
<p>The funds raised in Shanghai will go toward providing libraries to the Ba Qiao School District in the ShaanXi Province.  Each school will receive 500 Chinese language children&#8217;s books, and a comfortable child-safe library for the children to use.</p>
<p><img src="http://blogofdreams.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/12/img_1619.jpg" alt="China e-mba" width="250" height="188" /></p>
<p><em>To date, what do you think has been your biggest success?</em></p>
<p>That&#8217;s a tough question to answer.  There have been so many successes to date.  But if I were to pick on success, it would be the creation of our School District Program.  This program makes the kind of impact that we all like to see.  True impact is hard to make, and I&#8217;m confident that providing every countryside elementary school in a single school districts improves the level of education that each and every child receives.</p>
<p><em>What are the next big plans for the Library Project?  How do you see the project growing?  How can people in China and abroad help you and support you?<br />
</em></p>
<p>The Library Project has a very clear plan for our future.  We will have over 80 libraries provided to countryside elementary schools by the end of 2008.  We&#8217;ll have over 200 by the end of 2009.  We&#8217;ll continue that aggressive growth plan until every elementary school in China has children&#8217;s books for every child to read.</p>
<p>We have a ton of volunteer opportunities, both in China and abroad.  The best place to begin is to check out our website at <a href="http://www.library-project.org">The Library Project</a>.</p>
<p>All donations are greatly appreciated.  Small and large donations really do make a difference.  Each book that we provide to schools only cost $1 USD, or 8 Yuan.  Adopting a school costs only $1,000 USD.  Both of these really do make a huge impact on the lives of  literally thousands of children.</p>

<p>That is true. <a href="http://www.rhsmith-umd.cn/">The University of Maryland&#8217;s Smith School of Business in Shanghai</a> has been absolutely amazing. On November 24th, the Smith School of Business hosted a charity fundraiser in Shanghai that raised enough funds to provide twelve schools with full libraries. They got Black and Decker, Microsoft, Storm Case, Grainger, Grace, Under Armour, The Children&#8217;s Place, Jaguar, Avon, and Land Rover, among many others, involved.</p>
<p><img src="http://blogofdreams.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/12/img_1605.jpg" alt="China EMBA" width="250" height="188" /></p>
<p>The University of Maryland&#8217;s Smith School of Business in Shanghai and their <a href="http://www.rhsmith-umd.cn/">China EMBA </a>program have really made a difference in the lives of thousands of children living in the countryside of China.</p>
<p><em>Where will the funds you raised in Shanghai go and how will they be used?</em></p>
<p>The funds raised in Shanghai will go toward providing libraries to the Ba Qiao School District in the ShaanXi Province.  Each school will receive 500 Chinese language children&#8217;s books, and a comfortable child-safe library for the children to use.</p>
<p><img src="http://blogofdreams.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/12/img_1619.jpg" alt="China e-mba" width="250" height="188" /></p>
<p><em>To date, what do you think has been your biggest success?</em></p>
<p>That&#8217;s a tough question to answer.  There have been so many successes to date.  But if I were to pick on success, it would be the creation of our School District Program.  This program makes the kind of impact that we all like to see.  True impact is hard to make, and I&#8217;m confident that providing every countryside elementary school in a single school districts improves the level of education that each and every child receives.</p>
<p><em>What are the next big plans for the Library Project?  How do you see the project growing?  How can people in China and abroad help you and support you?<br />
</em></p>
<p>The Library Project has a very clear plan for our future.  We will have over 80 libraries provided to countryside elementary schools by the end of 2008.  We&#8217;ll have over 200 by the end of 2009.  We&#8217;ll continue that aggressive growth plan until every elementary school in China has children&#8217;s books for every child to read.</p>
<p>We have a ton of volunteer opportunities, both in China and abroad.  The best place to begin is to check out our website at <a href="http://www.library-project.org">The Library Project</a>.</p>
<p>All donations are greatly appreciated.  Small and large donations really do make a difference.  Each book that we provide to schools only cost $1 USD, or 8 Yuan.  Adopting a school costs only $1,000 USD.  Both of these really do make a huge impact on the lives of  literally thousands of children.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://blogofdreams.com/2007/10/18/china-library-project/#more-355">中文</a></p>
<p>A few months ago, Yanzhi and I met Thomas Stader, the man who created <a href="http://library-project.org">The Library Project</a>. His project donates books and libraries to underprivileged schools and orphanages in the developing world. Stader created this project because he believes education is the key motivator to breaking the cycle of poverty that exists in the developing world. For him, education is change. The Library Project accomplishes its work by getting the local community involved through book drives and awareness raising, establishing bi-lingual libraries, and partnering with local orphanages and schools.</p>
<p>I recently received a note from Thomas that he has built a new library, and I&#8217;d like to share what he sent to us.</p>
<p><img src="http://blogofdreams.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/10/the-library-is-finished.jpg" alt="china library project" width="500" height="375" /></p>
<p>&#8220;Everyone at The Library Project are very excited to announce that we have provided our first library to a countryside elementary school in China.</p>
<p>&#8220;There are over 500 students, grades 1-6 that attend the Xin Xing Elementary School. One third of the students that attend Xin Xing Elementary School are worker children. Worker people are people that do manual labor in China. Their jobs can be anything from building highways to building apartment blocks. They tend to be migratory, going where the work is, and once the work is finished they pick their family up and go again where the work is. Because the area around the Xin Xing Elementary School was declared a Special Development Zone by the Central Government, there has been an influx of Worker Families and their children. As you can imagine, this puts an added strain on the school budget that the administration must balance at the Xin Xing Elementary School.<img src="http://blogofdreams.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/10/the-children-enjoying-arts-and-crafts-in-their-new-library.jpg" alt="china charity library" width="500" height="375" /></p>
<p>&#8220;Even with this added strain, the Xin Xing Elementary School has an incredible school administration with the Vice Principle named Mr. Zhong being a key player. We met Mr. Zhong one day during the Summer Break when we showed up unannounced and he welcomed us at the gate. He was alone, cleaning the school in preparation for the approaching Fall Semester.</p>
<p><img src="http://blogofdreams.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/10/jenny-working-with-some-of-the-students-at-the-xin-xing-elementary-school.jpg" alt="china library school" width="500" height="375" /></p>
<p>&#8220;During our Pre Assessment we found the school library located in a dirty room on the fourth floor of the school. Even though it was dirty, the books were all very well kept, in new book shelves the Central Government had just provided. Their collection of books numbered 3,000. This sounds like a very impressive number, but the books they had in the library were almost completely inappropriate for the children attending the elementary school. Most books were written for High School or University students, or were published in the 1970s and were showing their age. There were no more than 50 children’s books for grades 1-3. The library room also lacked any comfortable furniture for the children sit on.</p>
<p>&#8220;On September 25, 2007, The Library Project provided 500 children’s books for grades 1-3, and also a child safe reading area with comfortable and colorful furniture for the children to be able to sit down and read a book. We also provided a full set of children’s encyclopedias for the older learners. After the furniture and books were setup, we held a party to celebrate the children’s new library. Twenty “star” students were chosen to participate in arts, crafts and games. Everyone had a great time.</p>
<p>&#8220;Most importantly, the administration really saw how much the children enjoyed their new library. The Xin Xing Elementary School administration made a plan to make sure every class has an opportunity to use the library once a week.</p>

<p>&#8220;Without a doubt The Library Project has improved the level of education that the school provides to its students.&#8221;</p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt"><span style="font-family: 宋体">“尽管承受着这样的额外的压力，新星小学还是可以经营下去，这全赖钟副校长的出色领导。我们暑假到那里参观的时候见到了钟副校长，他在校门口迎接我们。那时他一个人在学校做大扫除，为就要来的秋季开学做准备。”</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt"><span style="font-family: 宋体">新星小学的学生，从一年级到六年级，超过</span><span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">500</span></span><span style="font-family: 宋体">人。其中三分之一的学生是来自民工家庭。民工在中国是指那些靠出卖劳动力为</span><span style="color: black; font-family: 宋体">生的人，从架高速公路到建房盖屋，他们什么都干。他们居无定所，哪里有活</span><span style="font-family: 宋体">干就到哪里，当一项工程完工了，他们就举家搬到下一个工作的地方。因为新星小学附近被当地</span><span style="color: black; font-family: 宋体">政府规划为特</span><span style="font-family: 宋体">别发展区，所以有一大批的民工家庭和他们的小孩涌到这里来。行政部门的财政支持没有增加的前提下，他们的到来给小学的经营带来的压力是可想而知的。”</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt"><span style="font-family: 宋体">“尽管承受着这样的额外的压力，新星小学还是可以经营下去，这全赖钟副校长的出色领导。我们暑假到那里参观的时候见到了钟副校长，他在校门口迎接我们。那时他一个人在学校做大扫除，为就要来的秋季开学做准备。”</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt"><span style="font-family: 宋体">“在视察期间，我们发现该图书馆设在了学校四楼一个简陋的房间里。即使看上去肮脏，但书本都保存得很好。在新的书架上，陈列着《中央政府》。他们收藏的书籍达到三千多本</span><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"> </span><span style="font-family: 宋体">。听起来这似乎是一个非常可观的数目，然而该馆中的书籍几乎都不适合小学生阅读。大部分书籍是适合高中生或大学生阅读，或者是在</span><span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">20</span></span><span style="font-family: 宋体">世纪</span><span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">70</span></span><span style="font-family: 宋体">年代发表的，其陈旧程度显而易见。适合</span><span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">1-3</span></span><span style="font-family: 宋体">年级学生的儿童读物不超过</span><span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">50</span></span><span style="font-family: 宋体">本。馆里没有任何舒适的家具可以让孩子们坐。”</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt"><span style="font-family: 宋体">“</span><span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">2007</span></span><span style="font-family: 宋体">年</span><span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">9</span></span><span style="font-family: 宋体">月</span><span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">25</span></span><span style="font-family: 宋体">日</span><span style="font-family: 宋体">，除了为</span><span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">1-3</span></span><span style="font-family: 宋体">年级小学生增多了</span><span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">500</span></span><span style="font-family: 宋体">本儿童读物，图书馆计划还提供了配有五彩缤纷家具的儿童式安全阅览区，使孩子们能够坐下来，舒适地看书。除此之外还有一整套的儿童百科全书给较年长的学习者使用。在家具和书籍准备好后，我们还为庆祝孩子们的新图书馆举行了聚会。二十位学生被挑选参加艺术活动，手工艺活动及游戏等。我们每个人都非常开心。”</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt"><span style="font-family: 宋体">“最重要的是，领导层确实看到了孩子们对新图书馆的愉悦之情。该小学的领导人员就作出安排，确保每一个班级都可以每星期一次使用图书馆。”</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt"><span style="font-family: 宋体">“毫无疑问，图书馆计划提高了学校的教育水平。”</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt"><span style="font-family: 宋体">如有疑问，请联系</span><span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">Thomas Stader</span></span><span style="font-family: 宋体">先生：</span></p>

<p>One of the most useful pieces of advice I ever received from a professor was during my sophomore year, in a class called Abstract Algebra.  The math was so abstract, in fact, that it is still hard for me to imagine how I made it through that class in one piece.  This Professor,  however, was able to inspire me, no matter how difficult the assignment, to continue solving problems deep into the night.  And his main advice was always this: &#8220;Mathematicians spend most of their time being wrong.&#8221;  And what he meant was that anyone involved in taking risks&#8211;mathematicians trying to solve mathematical problems, writers crafting stories, and anyone trying to make their dreams come true&#8211;is going to spend much of their time banging their head against a wall, struggling with problems that seem beyond one&#8217;s ability to handle.  And what I find I need, as I bang my own head against writing this blog, are stories and thoughts from people who have the courage to take risks and dream.</p>
<p>Meet Randy Pausch.  I&#8217;m not sure exactly how he found his way into my electronic stumbling, but once Yanzhi and I found him, we were hooked.  I watched diligently for the first two minutes, but when he said, &#8220;The inspiration and permission to dream is huge,&#8221; I knew I had found something real.  As I watched his story, I knew that his message was something that needed to be on this blog.</p>
<p><object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://www.youtube.com/v/4HqdnjgkExY" width="425" height="355" wmode="transparent"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/4HqdnjgkExY" /></object></p>
<p>Though there were many different and valuable parts to his lesson a lot of different parts to his message, a few pieces really stood out for me.  In particular, Professor Pausch struck a cord when he spoke about walls.  In China, I find so often that my students, my colleagues, and everyone here eventually comes up against the Great Walls of China.  They are walls of silence, walls of insecurity and distrust, or walls of insurmountable difficulty, but they exist for each of us, in real, personal ways.  I have watched Coffee, Ms. Yue, Yanzhi, our interns, and myself struggle against these different walls, and each day I am impressed with the courage of other people to stand against walls so much deeper, higher, and more entrenched than my own.  Despite all this, standing against walls is only standing, and for me, we need ways around the wall&#8211;this is where Randy Pausch came in.</p>
<p>What I found in Professor Pausch&#8217;s lecture is not a way around the wall: I do think that only individuals can walk around or break through their own walls, though they can certainly receive help from others.  And that offer to help is what people need most.  What Professor Pausch&#8217;s lecture offers is an invitation to transform these walls into bridges. As he says, &#8220;The brick walls are not there to keep us out.  The brick walls are there to stop the people who don&#8217;t it badly enough.&#8221;  I hope that each of our readers can watch these videos and find in his story, like I did, an imaginative and lively story about finding your dreams and making them come true.</p>
<p>We&#8217;ll continue to post these <a href="http://blogofdreams.com/study-in-us/">lectures</a> as a feature on our blog. Professor, thank you for telling stories about people striving and achieving their dreams.</p>
<p><span id="more-314"></span>作为老师，我跟彦志近来都在思考我们将会如何上最后一堂课。为什么会这样呢？就是因为这位教师，当讲述到他的梦想时，他表现出来的优雅打动了我们。我们经常就如何给中国学生上课的问题进行探讨，然而中国学生们对教育对文化所抱的迥异态度与期望时常令我们感到迷惑，泄气。但是我们发现这世界上也存在着像Randy Pausch这样能够勉励他人的老师。他们做出的许多有关梦想，成功和生活的卓越事迹集结成为一个鼓舞人心的篇章。</p>
<p>我们将会继续在博客上登载这类视频片断。感谢你们向世界散播的希望与笑声。</p>

		<description><![CDATA[<p>One of the many goals of the China Dreamblogue is to create a strong, pro-China internet presence in the blogosphere. To do this, we need your help. And as we create our pro-China network, we would also like to help the people who want to be part of this network by giving them a way to increase their SEO power and their ability to monetize their site. Sound complicated and difficult? The process is deceptively simple and powerful.</p>
<p>We&#8217;ve created an idea called link it forward. Similar to the <a href="http://www.virtual-china.org/2006/08/and_now_a_meme_.html">internet memes</a> and <a href="http://www.thethinkingblog.com/2007/02/thinking-blogger-awards_11.html">the Thinking Blog tag</a> that recently moved through a number of English-language blogs about China, our idea will travel rapidly through pro-China blogs. In addition, this idea will help to create links&#8211;as many as four thousand&#8211;to your site through a trickle-down method.</p>
<p>There are five simple steps:</p>
<ol>
<li>Take this list of 8 blogs and put them in a post on your blog.  The first three blogs, <a href="http://onemanbandwidth.com/wordpress/">Onemanbandwidth</a>, <a href="http://blogofdreams.com">The China Dreamblogue</a>, and <a href="http://sinotrading.us/wp/">Sinotrading</a>, remain on the list.</li>
<li>At the top of the moveable list, put a link to your blog.</li>
<li>Remove the link from the bottom of blog.</li>
<li>Send your updated list to at least five other people.</li>
<li>If you want, create a new moveable list of five blogs you think deserve some links. Be kind and include the permanent list as well.</li>
</ol>
<p>Perma-List:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://onemanbandwidth.com/wordpress/">Onemanbandwidth</a></li>
<li><a href="http://blogofdreams.com">The China Dreamblogue</a></li>
<li><a href="http://sinotrading.us/wp/">Sinotrading</a></li>
</ul>
<p>The Moveable list:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://www.haohaoreport.com/">The Hao Hao Report</a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.zonaeuropa.com/weblog.htm">East South North West </a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.calpolymbatrip.com/">The Cal Poly MBA Trip</a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.chinalawblog.com/">China Law Blog</a></li>
<li><a href="http://china.notspecial.org/">The Opposite End of China</a></li>
</ul>
<p>The numbers work out well for you.  You will have approximately five rounds on the list.  On the first round, you&#8217;ll get five links.  On the second, you&#8217;ll get 25 (each of the five people you sent the list to will get five more people to put your link on their site).  The third round nets you 125, the fourth 525, and the fifth 2,625.  Your grand total (should everyone follow Link it Forward) will be 3,305 links.  And if you get linked to again by another blog, you can start the process all over again to earn another 3,000 links.</p>

<p align="center">China Dreamblogue的其中一个目标是在因特网上创建一个强大的，支持中国的互联网。实现这个目标，我们需要你的帮助。在我们建造我们中国的友好互联网的同时，我们将会帮助那些支持我们的人，把他们的博客推到网络排名的最前列。这个过程既简单又有效。</p>
<p align="center">我们已经有一个构想，称为“链接在一起”（Link it Forward），与“网络媒母”（internet memes）相类似。“Link it Forward”（ 链接在一起）会以很快的速度在支持中国的博客上移动。另外，这个构想可以使你的网站的链接数量增加几千个以上。</p>
<p align="center">以下是六个简单的步骤：</p>
<ol type="1">
<li>按照以下的说明列两组博客的目录然后放到您的博客上。第一组名单是三个固定的博客：Onemanbandwidth, The China Dreamblogue, 和Sinotrading。这三个博客的连接必须永远的保留和不可改变。</li>
<li>在第二组上，把您自己的博客连接放在目录的第一位上。</li>
<li>把所有在第二组目录上的连接排名依次向下移动一位。即排第一的移到第二位，排第二的移到第三位等等（第五位的移到第一位）。</li>
<li>这就是说排第五的应该要完成一个循坏回到第五的位置上。</li>
<li>将你的更新了的列表发给至少5个其他博客。您发的越多，您就能获得更多的链接。如果您有一百个人，那就快点去做吧。</li>
<li>如果您想的话，还可以另外创建一个您认为有价值的列表。请也同样包括那个不变名单（即onemanbandwidth, china dreamblogue 和 sinotrading）</li>
</ol>
<p align="center">请记住，不要改动或者改变第一组名单和不要在第二组名单上加上第六个链接。同样，通过第一组名单所得到的广告收益将用作慈善用途。而从第二组“link it forward”上所得的收益将有您自己支配。我们会为您列举一些能够推算您自己网站价值的地方。</p>
<p align="center">第一组（长期不变得目录）：</p>
<p align="center"><a href="http://onemanbandwidth.com/wordpress/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><u>Onemanbandwidth</u></a></p>

<p align="center">第二组（可更新的目录）：</p>
<p>                              您的博客</p>
<p align="center">您朋友的博客</p>
<p align="center">如果理想的话，您大约会有比从前翻5倍的链接量。</p>

<p align="center">第三个循环您会有125个链接，第四个有625，第五个有3，125个。</p>
<p align="center">如果每个人都按照Link it Forward的方法，您最后会得到3，905个链接。如果您同时又跟其他博客建立同种方法的链接，您将会得到另外3，000多个的链接。有了这上千个的 连接，您就能从Google Adwords（Google搜索引擎营销）那里得到相应的收益了。现在就请按本页底部的Google Adwords按钮来看一下您的网站的价值吧。</p>
<p align="center">这是为了兴趣；这是为了提高中国博客在西方搜索引擎的排名；这更是为了中国的慈善事业出一分力（因为限定组中的3个博客将会把全部广告收益捐献给中国的慈善机构）；同样也能增加中国博客在互联网上的知名度。</p>
