Singing the praises of studying abroad

Black Eyed Peas singer, Will.I.Am, will join Grammy-award-winning singer/songwriter John Legend and Chinese-American pop singers, like Coco Lee, to perform at a charity concert in Beijing.

The show is held to raise awareness for the 100,000 Strong Initiative, a government program to increase the number of US students sent to study in China. The Beijing concert will be raising funds specifically for students from Los Angeles. Other artists, including Chinese crossover singer Sa Dingding and Hong Kong pop singer/actress Karen Mok, will perform.
