Oct-Nov, 2010
This is definitely the best way to learn more about a country - by getting in touch with people. I have many unforgettable stories here I share with other volunteers, students or teachers. For some students I became a very important person in their lives.

  Paul - Teaching on ChongMing Island
July, 2010
The welcome I received at Yangtzi high school was fantastic; the students were very friendly and seemed really excited. My supervisor at the school was Jenny, who showed me the stunning flat the school provided for me during my stay. It had a double-bed, my own kitchen, living-room, television, computer and a massive garden with a pond, bridges and a pagoda in it!
