On March 7th, 2020 AYLUS volunteer instructors and students of the Hello Wuhan initiative had a team-building event. After a couple of weeks of pilot classes, enough volunteers and students were recruited to formally launch the long-term project. The online event was hosted and coordinated by Andy Jiang and Andy Gu so that all the volunteers and students were able to meet and get to know each other, along with a discussion on future plans and topics for the classes. Despite a shy start, students were able to communicate topics they were interested in learning from this project. These included everyday conversation skills, daily life, U.S cultures, and festivals, along with local popular cuisines. Volunteers who participated in this were Andy Jiang, Andy Gu, Eric Qi, Iren Liu, Emily She, Baron Niu, Kate Liu, Matthew Li
