| From May 1st to October 31st, the World Expo 2010 will take place in Shanghai, China. The USA Pavilion in partnership with the Committee of 100 will be featuring an exhibit on “The Chinese in America”, demonstrating America’s unique strengths as a nation embracing diversity, offering freedom of choice, and providing the opportunity for everyone to succeed. Marc has been selected as one of twenty outstanding Chinese Americans to be featured in the exhibit, sharing the spotlight with I.M. Pei, Yo-Yo Ma and others. He will be included at the Pavilion’s video wall as well as the Internet exhibit. If you are of Chinese descent and living in the U.S., you too can be a part of ‘The Chinese in America” exhibit!

| Marc has been searching for ways to help Haiti ever since the recent devastating earthquake. Recently a 9-year-old friend from New Jersey, USA, invited Marc to join him on a Haiti benefit project on Youtube that was organized by his family and friends. Marc jumped at the chance to participate! The project is a global effort by talented young pianists to raise awareness and funds for continued support for Haiti Relief. Within days, 10 top young pianists (age 7-14) from 7 different countries and 4 continents, joined the cause. The group consists of world-famous young musicians, top winners of prestigious national and international competitions. Combined, this group of talented musicians have nearly 11,000 Youtube subscribers and 22,000 Youtube friends. This diverse group of kids came together in a virtual collaboration to perform one piece - the Chopin Nocturne in C# Minor. Through this beautiful and healing piece, they call for global attention in their own native languages for continued support for the Haiti Relief effort. They plan to set up a special Red Cross page for donation as well as call for donations to local Red Cross. They will use their combined strong Youtube influence to help raise awareness that Haiti Relief needs our continued and immediate support. We will include a link to their special Red Cross donation page as soon as it's on-line. We thank you for joining in to help them in their humanitarian efforts! |
