China

To pay or not to pay - that is the question.

Whether to pay-to-volunteer or volunteer-at-no-cost-to-yourself (or as the current debate puts it ‘paid or free volunteering’) – is a difficult and challenging debate and realistically there is no right or wrong answer – it is most definitely not ‘black and white.’

Some people want to travel abroad, to volunteer so they feel good about themselves – what is so wrong with that? Some people want to travel abroad to volunteer to give something back to society – again, what is so wrong with that?

New volunteering projects in China!

We are now able to offer new opportunities of volunteering in China, in the province of Si Chuan. You will be able to teach English in kinder gardens, primary, secondary and high schools and also to help in summer camps and centres for children with special needs.

The city of Mianyang, where the volunteering projects are going to take place, was seriously hit by an earthquake in 2008 that killed 90.000 people and destroyed many schools.

Volunteering there has therefore a special meaning, as it would help people to find new confidence and hope for their future.
