SIP's Jingying Apartment Community recently launched an assortment of training programs in an attempt to enrich the residents' life and give them a helping hand in pursuing better self-cultivation.

A painting class, the second of its kind in the community this year, started on July 6. In the first session, the participants practiced the basic pencil sketching skills by drawing geometric shapes.

The classes on Korean and Japanese languages started on July 14, with a series of courses taught by professional teachers to white-collar workers serving in foreign-funded companies and others interested in the languages. The program is well received by the participants for the well-designed content, favorable fees and considerate schedule.

A ukulele and guitar playing training program is underway, too. In addition to learning skills, the music enthusiasts will have chances to join in the local music club and partake in performances at various local events.
