How are you? Have you had a good week and enjoy your weekend? I do hope you have and you are.

I am sorry that I have not written to you last week and also now I can only write a short letter to say Hello to you and to see whether it is possible for you to help me to find 1 or few volunteers as my English tutors, mainly to help me to check and to correct what I have written and need to be published in my publications. In the other words, I need help on English. I need an English supporter.

I do have a best English tutor who is a volunteer from England for 11 years, just because of his good help and support, I can produce this English web site and the publications in English. But now, some of his family members is suffering some serious sickness, he itself needs help.

So, if it is convenient with you, could you please help me to find a volunteer English tutor?

I am sorry I cannot pay at this time because I myself is a volunteer to work in the USA and in the past 13 years, I gave all of the classes free and I donated whole of my little income from the art exhibition and I myself offered the paper, brushes for my students and I am traveling at my own expense. That is not because I am too rich or I am a foolish person, but because I am working on a dream at the beginning phase, if I asked to be paid, I would not be able to enter the classrooms and I would not be able to open this meaningful and helpful career; that is also because I am a patient, an artist and a former teacher and instructor who had been lucky enough to study in 8 universities, who have been to America, Australia and Europe and have gotten too much help from this world, I do wish to give as much as possible of my knowledge in my mind and I do want to give as many as possible of my skills on my hands to more people and leave them in this world at the time I am still alive, to return this world and all people who have help me.

But since this is a career, people who work on it will not be volunteers forever and it will be returned along with the time. Payment problem will be resolved certainly some day.

So, today, instead of sharing any art works with you, I would like to share something I have written for my album that I should give my designer and printer 2 days ago. Just because I myself is suffering the serious headache and had to take painkillers 3 times more than the usual situation. I cannot hand in them and completed my job on it yet.

I am sure when it is darkest, the dawn will come soon. Now I am in the most difficult time, in case I go over this hardest road with my biggest effort, I will see a bright tomorrow certainly.

If you are confident in me, confident in what I am studying, thinking and exploring after reading the articles below via the link, would like to give me a hand and help me to find the English support, you are welcome to write to me.

My Cross-culture and Comprehensive Art Study, Exploration and Dream

I will appreciate your good help with a grateful heart.

Sincerely

Shirley
