Summarize the following text from the Voice of America website:
Many thousands of Chinese are studying at schools in the United States. And writer
Liel Leibovitz says the students are following an example that began in the eighteen
seventies.
1. Mr. Leibovitz and writer Matthew Miller joined forces to tell the story of the
students in their book, "Fortunate Sons. The book says China sent one hundred
twenty boys to America to learn about developments that could help modernize
their country." (American Documents the Country's First Exchange Students from
China, Voice of America, learningenglish.voanews.com)
2. "Illiteracy is a problem in many of the world's poorest countries. Even in wealthier
nations like the United States, many children struggle with reading and writing.
But in 19 cities across the country [United States], the volunteers of Experience corps are helping youngsters learn to read. The volunteers, all over 50, work with students in low-income areas”. (Older Volunteers Help Children Learn to Read, Voice of America, voanews.com)
Women entrepreneurs in the developing world often face challenges that limit their chances for success and growth. They often have less access to education than men and have difficulty getting financing on their own. But with an understanding of the essential aspects of doing business- such as planning, financing, networking and marketing- they can overcome those obstacles. That’s where the 10,000 Women initiative comes in. As Faiza Elmasry tell us, it’s an investment in education with dividends that benefit the businesswomen, their local communities and their national economies”.
