|
|
WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to |
|
recognize the La Porte Education Foundation's Global Studies |
|
Program China Project for its cultural and social impact on |
|
American and Chinese students alike and to welcome the |
|
distinguished representatives from Nankai High School to the |
|
Texas Capitol; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Implemented at La Porte High School, the Global |
|
Studies Program China Project increases awareness of the global |
|
economy and different cultures among its participants, who serve |
|
as ambassadors throughout their campuses and communities; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, La Porte High School students traveled to China in |
|
March of 2008 as the first participants in the program, attending |
|
Nankai High School, staying with Chinese families, and visiting |
|
such cultural sites as the Great Wall and the Forbidden City; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The students of La Porte High School and Nankai |
|
High School are truly fortunate to be able to take part in this |
|
exchange program which allows them to experience an education |
|
beyond the usual books and outside the comfort zone of their |
|
local customs and traditions; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 81st |
|
Legislature, hereby commend the La Porte Education Foundation on |
|
its commitment to educational opportunity through the Global |
|

|
|
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for |
|
