This group of students decided to send condolences to the Virginia Tech campus in April of 2007, after the shootings. They asked about how such a thing could happen, it was so crazy to them that at first it almost seemed comical. We decided to talk about it and think about how the families and friends must have been feeling. Each student wrote a note of encouragement for the families and friends of the victims to be sent together in a package.
Another part of the care package that we prepared was Chinese calligraphy.
We went to a part of Xi'An full of calligraphers and found an artist who wrote a traditional Chinese blessing for the Virginia Tech community.
He had a list of translations of blessings and proverbs that we could choose from.
This is the kind man who wrote the blessing, and one of my students checking out the work.
