The weekend has come again, this time a lot faster than the previous one. While we are diving deep into our projects with intense dialogue, brainstorming and debates about objectives, findings and initial recommendations in collaboration with our client, we are also bonding with them. This is really what it is all about - relationship and trust. We are eating together - Thursday for the famous 'hot pot' (which is similar to fondue) and Friday our client came to work with us at our hotel and we had very simple but tasteful noodles. Nothing like food to tie people together.

Back to the headline, today was Community Service Day. Through various interactive activities we were offered an in-depth understanding of the Chinese community Chong De Fang's daily life including of course to provide our service to them.
 |
| Telling children of the community about Denmark, our Queen, HC Andersen and much more. |
The activities varied from language and culture, dancing, career planning to Chinese calligraphy, handwork and creation of dumplings - which we of course ate afterwards.
After the lunch the gift exchange ceremony was conducted. So glad that I brought extra gifts!

| Seemed so easy when the sweet Chinese showed me how to roll out the dough for the dumplings! |

| Our clients Mrs Ban and Mrs Jin had done a great job co-arranging the day with our international partner VSO. |

| They all really like my red wrapping :-) |
