ABOUT ROBERT EDWARDS
I have long had a passion to serve as a bridge for understanding people of differing languages and cultures. To pursue this dream, I became among the earliest of American students and teachers to live in China. Seeking to pass on my knowledge, I established successful Mandarin Chinese programs in Memphis and Sewanee, Tennessee. Presently, I\'m engaged in a project to bring disparate communities together to transform a Chattanooga church, school and farm into a full-fledged organization to educate citizens of our area\'s rich history and prepare our youth for the jobs of the future.
