Volunteer Teaching in Rural China
with the Rural China Education Foundation (鄉村教育促進會 )
Join an energetic group of overseas Chinese students and young professionals who strive to make a difference in the lives of rural Chinese children. Experience first-hand the realities of the Chinese countryside and bring new perspectives, support, and inspiration to rural students. Be a part of our volunteer teaching team in summer 2006 (around July 15 - Aug 8). Volunteers receive expert training in Beijing, which consists of workshops and lectures on rural education, rural development, and student-centered teaching. This is followed by teaching and learning in a village for two weeks. We collaborate and team up with Chinese mainland university student volunteers. Mandarin speaking is required. Expertise in education, sociology, or a related field is especially welcome.
"The volunteers gave me feelings I never had before: confidence, courage, and approval. I may not have learned much knowledge but I gained a lot of study strategies and principles I can use for a lifetime. I was very happy and enjoyed these days. I really wish time could stay still." -- Middle school student (2005)
"I learnt so much, enjoyed so much, and experienced so much. It's the most meaningful thing I've done in the past year." -- RCEF Volunteer 2005
RCEF is a non-profit organization that supports the development of well-rounded, quality education that is integrated with social responsibility and individual character development.
