Volunteer's Blog:  John,   USA  

I spent three months teaching second and fourth grade English at ChangXing Center Primary School on ChangXing Island and had one of the most amazing experiences of my life. I kept an extensive blog and posted many videos of my experiences. Friends have told me the videos helped give them a much better idea of what it was really like living, traveling, and teaching in China.

The main blog is available at http://johnmillspaugh.blogspot.com. The table below may help you zero in on the posts that are of interest to you.
