Book a group tour at “Chinese Historical Society Museum”!

With summer winding down and the school year is upon us. It's the perfect time to unlock the wonder and history of the Chinese American experience through guided tours of WE ARE BRUCE LEE: UNDER THE SKY, ONE FAMILY; CHSA's museum and learning center; and our greater San Francisco Chinatown neighborhood.

For upcoming school-year classes and tour groups, or just family, friends or colleagues, CHSA has a variety of docent-led or self-led tours that provide in-depth educational explorations of the museum galleries and utilize the deep and rich historical setting of our Chinatown neighborhood as an educational learning space.

Tours can accommodate up to 30 people per tour guide. Group pricing and group time slots may vary. For more information, visit CHSA.org.

Shelter Box is going to Southern Turkey & Syria…

🚨 EARTHQUAKE EMERGENCY

ShelterBox’s emergency team is closely monitoring the aftermath of 2 powerful earthquakes that struck southern Turkey and northern Syria earlier today.

We’re gathering information from all possible sources to see how big the need for emergency shelter will be, and if we are well placed to help.

Initial reports suggest that thousands of buildings are likely to have collapsed across the region, and rescuers are desperately trying to save people trapped beneath the rubble.

The death toll is already more than 2,300 and is rising all the time.

We will continue to update as more information becomes available. Please stay tuned.
