Twenty-seven years ago, American educator Ronald Sakolsky came to China as part of a teacher exchange program. During his time here, he not only helped support China's reforestation efforts, but also planted a seed of friendship that would take root across generations and borders.

Watch "The Seeds We Sow" for a story of teaching, friendship and the enduring connections between people.
