Joyous Chinese Cultural Center's 200 students performed for an audience of 1200 at Mission Hill Church on Saturday.   "The best show ever!",  many people commented after the show.  One of the biggest surprises of JCCC's 15th Chinese New Year Celebration was the Gong Xi Fa Cai dance by CCAI's president Joshua with eight JCCC students.  They generated thunderous cheer from the audience.

CCAI's JCCC has been providing cultural education and emotional support to adopted Chinese children and their families for over 15 years.  For more information, please visit www.joyouscenter.org

50 students from Prairie Winds Elementary School took a field trip to Joyous Chinese Cultural Center to experience China in a very real way - making dumplings, trying Chinese calligraphy writing, giant panda paper cutiing, and learning Chinese folk dance moves.

To offer Chinese cultural education and appreciation, JCCC launched the Field Trip to "China" program two years ago. It has been a big hit. Students from local public, private, and home schools can either come to our center or invite a team of Cultural Experts from JCCC to go to their schools. If you are interested in this exciting and resourceful program, please contact us at school@chinesechildren.org
