My Story

I was born and raised in Oakland, California and moved to China in the summer of 2006 to pursue a career in development. Almost two years ago, after finishing advanced Chinese study at Tsinghua University in Beijing, Courtney and I set off to start Wokai.

Why I Give

There are two major reasons why I contribute, actually, maybe three: 1. I, as many other Americans, was born into a life of privilege. It would be senseless not to share the opportunities that I have had with those who, by random fate, were born into different circumstances. 2. I've met the borrowers on the other end of this site, have seen their lives, and know that each of my dollars is going to have a lasting impact that will continue growing over time. 3. Contributing on Wokai is FUN!

  This year our income is better than last year. I am pretty happy. -- This year’s corn harvest was very good. We made more money than last year, which made my husband and me pretty happy. We used a part of our income to improve our standard of living. We saved the other part for next lunar year because this year it starts early and spring will begin in just a couple of months.
