Will
(23) graduated UNC-Chapel Hill Phi Beta Kappa in May and continues to thrive. He
graduated with a Psychology degree and a minor in Entrepreneurship. He was
awarded a Kenan Scholarship and worked in Thailand with the Kenan Institute of
Asian Studies on community based tourism over the summer. He then traveled on to
China working with Hatsune, a restaurant corporation he had interned with the
year before. He finished in Beijing and Shanghai in December and met Beth and me
in Bangkok to spend 12 days exploring Thailand. We were able to visit Jenjira,
the 8 year old child we sponsor through the Christian's Childrens Fund. We were
blessed to have him come home with us for Christmas. We both left Bangkok within
5 minutes of each other with Will traveling west via London over the Atlantic
Ocean route and Beth & I traveling east via Tokyo over the Pacific Ocean
arriving in Raleigh within hours of each other!?!?!? Will, who now speaks
Chinese, has now been offered a managerial job with Hatsune at their new
restaurant opening at the Shanghai Expo 2010, the largest world event in world
history! The Expo is expecting 70 million visitors with Will's sushi restaurant
to serve ~ 4,000 customers/day! Check out the websites: en.expo2010.cn
