EXCHANGE STUDENTS FROM CHINA TO VISIT BRENHAM SATURDAY

  

A group of exchange students from China will get a taste of life in Brenham this weekend- both literally and figuratively.

Faith Mission in Brenham will host a luncheon for the students at the Cannery Kitchen in Brenham Saturday.  Rev. Randy Wells of Faith Mission says they will be serving barbeque and Blue Bell ice cream so the students can experience some of what Brenham has to offer.

The students are part of an exchange program put on by Prairie View A&M University’s Confucius Institute, The Honors Program. Dr. James Wilson Jr. leads the program at Prairie View University and explains what happens when these students return to China:

Last year, another group of students from China also visited Brenham and the organizers specifically asked to visit Brenham again this year.  Dr. Wilson explains why:

The group of 20 Chinese students were chosen from the 30,000 students at Xi’an International Studies University.  The group will be in the United States for about a month.  During that time they will be traveling to a variety of locations to experience life in this country.
