Volunteer China

China is a huge country with the world's largest population. It is a land rich in culture, traditions, and technological advances dating back more than 40 centuries. In recent years it has undergone a very rapid industrial revolution to become one of the worlds fastest growing economies. Such a rapid pace of change is not without its social cost and coupled with an increasingly outward looking society with a people eager to engage with foreigners, volunteers are needed for teaching, welfare and sport projects. This video follows a few of the volunteers who are helping with English tuition in a Shanghai school. If you'd like to learn more about the range of projects you can get involved in both in China and elsewhere please visit www.volunteerabroad.ie and www.partnershipvolunteers.org

Why does it all cost so much? I am capable of finding my own accommodation.

Can't I just call up one of the schools a few weeks/months in advance and say that I have done a TESOL course, provide a police check, and say I am willing to work for free?

SHAME ON PEOPLE WHO PROFIT FROM CHARITY! SHAME!
