The Education Development Center (EDC) and Foreign Capital Project Management Center (FCPMC) recently conducted an assessment to identify migrant workers' needs in China. Based on the findings, EDC and FCPMC designed a pilot project to build the capacity of migrant workers through pre-departure training on life skills and labor law issues and follow-up training on vocational topics, financial management, and career counseling. The project has received seed funding from Oxfam, the Asia Foundation, Save the Children UK, and Right to Play, as well as participation from three factories in the Guangdong and Shanghai areas and three training centers in Sichuan. It requires additional support. Interested parties may contact EDC for project partnership or involvement opportunities.

The Cincinnati Art Museum will open a major exhibition that documents how Chinese painters developed a sophisticated language of animal symbolism using traditional Chinese paintings. Decoded Messages: The Symbolic Language of Chinese Animal Painting contains groundbreaking new scholarship by Dr. Hou-mei Sung, revealing how paintings of birds, fish, and animals are linked to Chinese philosophies, poetry, legends, and history beginning as early as the third century BC. The exhibition will be displayed in Cincinnati, Ohio, in fall 2009. It will include 90 paintings from 15 major US museums as well as the Palace Museum, Beijing; the Shanghai Museum; and the National Palace Museum, Taipei. The Cincinnati Art Museum is seeking corporate funding for this exhibition. Contact InformationDr. John H.
