[Part 1: Expression of Gratitude]
I want to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude for the amazing journey and the China Study Trip facilitated by UNESCO IITE and NetDragon.
-
For UNESCO IITE, especially Tatiana Shutova, UNESCO IITE Program Specialist, for her kindness and patience and guidance from the beginning of the competition, during the competition, before departure, during departure to Beijing, during the study trip in China, and until the return to our homeland. She is an incredible and committed woman. Her integrity is not in doubt.

For NetDragon, A huge thanks for allowing us to see how technology and humans create harmony. Thank you for bringing us to the city of future civilization. Special thanks to Nicole. You are a great lady. She patiently and attentively accompanied us to get to know and learn more about how education, technology, and culture blend beautifully in the city of Beijing.

For Jennifer and Dug (Laya). I am so sorry if I misspelled your name. You understand our tastes and our meticulous food choices. You've successfully selected memorable dining and tourist attractions for us. Even the smallest details haven't escaped your attention. I was also very impressed by how enthusiastic the academic staff, students, and researchers at Beijing Normal University (BNU) were about science and technological developments.

For Ting Wen (sorry if I misspelled his name) and all volunteers (Linda and all friends), I'm amazed at how you put us first. This is truly memorable and something I will never forget. My deepest respect and appreciation for your dedication and professionalism.
