“Ling hosted a Chinese Culture Workshop for 26 children at our travel group's annual weekend reunion this year at the Sea Crest Resort. The workshop consisted of crafts, games, calligraphy and dancing and was absolutely fabulous. The children and the parents both thoroughly enjoyed it and couldn't wait for the next activity to occur. We can't wait for her to come again next year. Ling really puts her heart and soul into every aspect of the workshop. She has so much energy, spirit and enthusiasm and a great rapport with children and adults of all ages. She's a wonderful lady and we are so glad that she has become a part of our lives.”
