A Mandarin Chinese teacher in West Hartford Public Schools,
Lauren Drazen will lead the China trip, which will take place July 2 through
July 16, 2014. As part of her role as an educator, she plans, implements, and
leads student trips to China. Her passion for Chinese culture and travel led
her to plan and lead adult trips to China as well. In addition to traveling
through different parts of the country and seeing landmarks like the Great Wall
of China, participants will get an opportunity to fully experience Chinese
culture through Tai’chi in local parks, live music, dance performances, and
visits to schools and food markets. Finally, there will be three cities on the
tour that have significant Jewish history: Harbin, Kaifeng and Shanghai.
