Program helped student turn things around
OWN student in the Seattle Times
Philmon Haile has a great future ahead of him, I'm sure, but he needed help seeing his potential. Haile will be entering the University of Washington in January with a lot of education behind him already, some of it in China. OneWorld Now! (OWN) provided a big part of the boost he needed to get started. Monday, I wrote about the Seattle-based organization becoming a key player in the Obama administration's initiative to send 100,000 American students to study in China. OWN has been sending students to study in China for nine years, and Haile is one of them.
