China is one of the first countries to breed a medical culture.In comparison with Western methods, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) adopts a vastly different approach.For thousands of years, Chinese people have accumulated rich experience in fighting all sorts of diseases, therefore forming a unique medical theory under the guidance of ancient Chinese philosophies.
The core behind TCM is that the human body's life is the consequence of the balance between yin and yang.Yang functions to safeguard us against outer harm, and yin is the inner base to store and provide energy.When the balance between the two aspects is disturbed, people fall ill.
One of the traditional techniques of TCM, acupuncture (针刺疗法), means insertion of needles into superficial structures of the body—usually at acupoints (穴位)—to restore the yin yang balance.It is often accompanied by moxibustion (灸法), which involves burning the mugwort on or near the skin at an acupoint.
The first known text that clearly talks about something like acupuncture and moxibustion as it is practiced today is Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon.It is the earliest and most important written work of TCM and is considered the most representative medical text in China.
Acupuncture and moxibustion have aroused the interest of international medical science circles.And TCM is gradually gaining worldwide recognition.The WHO issued a document in 2002 that appealed to more than 180 countries to adopt TCM as an alternative in their medical policies.In 2010, acupuncture and moxibustion of traditional Chinese medicine were added to the Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity by the UNESCO.Presently, TCM has been back in the news for its effectiveness in improving the cure rate of the COVID 19 since its outbreak in January 2020.

AileyCamp is a free, six week program aimed at young people in financial need or who have school, social or family difficulties.It was created in 1989 in Kansas City, Missouri by world famous dancer and director Alvin Ailey.About 1,000 students in 10 U.S.states take part in AileyCamp every year.
In addition to dance, the camp introduces students to visual arts, creative writing and other communication skills.It also teaches them how to eat well, solve conflicts and become leaders.

Dianne Caroll directs the AileyCamp in Atlanta, Georgia.When the camp is over, the city's professional ballet company offers 10 students a full tuition scholarship for a year of training.The scholarship can be renewed.
