My Condolences from China

By Penny Li, Community Writer
December 23, 2015 at 08:41am. Views: 13

My condolences to the victims' families of the Dec. 2 horrific incident. I am from China and I have come to San Bernardino to request that the City of San Bernardino to re-instate the Sister City program for China. This trip was planned much before the horrific incident. The Dec. 2 act of cowardice could not deter our motivation to build a bridge between our two cultures. We propose for the City to reinstate the Sister City Program for China, allow international exchange participants to volunteer for the community, sharing the language and culture, and for San Bernardino to support the newly-created International Business Expo which has been initiated by Keith McCarter, of McCarter University, to encourage cooperation between our Chinese company participants and your local businesses. I and a few of my colleagues will be speaking at the Dec. 21 city council meeting to request that the City place these items on the agenda. These plans were submitted to the City far before Dec. 2 and we believe that now, more than ever, is a good time for the City to consider making positive international connections to create positive international programs to enhance the future prospect of success for the companies and citizenry here within. We would like to invite all members of the public to come listen to our short presentation and feel free to offer your support of our plans and project. Lastly, unlike many other proposed programs, this program will not cost the City one cent, but it has the potential of bringing elevated profits to the community directly, indirectly and to its businesses. We will appreciate your support and again, we wish to offer our condolences to the victims of Dec. 2.
