In Feb 2012, I went to China for three months to teach at the World Academy for the Future of Women (WAFW). Affiliated with Sias University (Henan Province), this academy teaches women how to be global leaders with a focus on the UN Millenium goals. I am going to continue this blog because the young women who were my students have graduated and many have gone on to challenging jobs and/or international studies.
