Talk at the Bookworm this Thursday, Sept. 26, 7:30 about grassroots NGOs in China

[Shawn Shieh]

Dear BCD members,

I wanted to let you know about a talk I'm giving at the Bookworm this Thursday about the grassroots NGOs in our recently published Chinese NGO Directory and how you can connect and support the work of these organizations. Of course, I'll mention BCD and the great work that Mark, Tzzy and others have done to expose people to these organizations. I also hope to have a special guest - Robyn Wexler, who worked with Nick Young to produce the first Chinese NGO Directory way back in 2001.

The NGO Directory will be for sale at the talk and I'll be there signing copies. Here's the blurb for the talk:

hello all,

Thanks to Lizzie from Global Witness for a very interesting evening on Saturday last.

Our next dinner is set for Sept 21 and will feature the fascinating topic “Geo-engineering the climate” with Professor John Moore, Chief Scientist, College of Global Change and Earth System Science at Beijing Normal University

We're looking forward to having Roots n Shoots (Jane Goodall Institution) and Wetlands International speaking in Oct. 

We'll also have Handicap International as well as the International Network for Bamboo & Rattan, a very interesting organisation focused on alleviating rural poverty
