NOTE FROM THE BLOGGER
Welcome to my summer blog. My name is Diana Avellaneda, and I was born in Queens, New York, in 1996. I attend Claremont McKenna College in southern California. Claremont's Human Rights Center is sponsoring me to volunteer in China for 8 weeks with the Amity Foundation. I previously lived in China in 2012, for nine months, when I studied abroad with the School Year Abroad program. I am ecstatic to return to China, and work with some of the country's most marginalized and vulnerable groups: poor children, the elderly, and the mentally disabled. I will update this blog as often as I can, with musings and ramblings.
