Familiarize yourself with rural China and experience the traditional ways of the stunningly charming community of Fengyan, a small village located in South China’s Guangxi province. Though they are very hardworking, the people of Fengyan are typically poor and make a living off of farming. You’ll be sure to make a true impact here through much needed humanitarian aid and education.
During the first week on the project, our volunteers take part in a week of cultural immersion. You’ll learn firsthand about Chinese food, the language, ancient calligraphy, and paper crafts and take in the glorious scenery on our tours of local sites. You will receive your work schedule during the first week on the project. There are a number of volunteer options available to our participants:

Everything we did was really fun and memorable, but one of the most interesting activities we got to do was visit Guilin's Tea Research Institute. Learning about tea plants, tea leaf preparation, and getting to participate in a tea ceremony was really fun. April and Elly were some of the coolest people I've met and our program ran as smoothly as possible because of them.
Having the opportunity to participate in this project in Fengyan, not only has allowed me to improve as a person, I have also been able to understand one of the most beautiful cultures that exist. I'm not very good ordering the words so that everything has a real meaning, but this experiences has given to my eyes a new light to observe the world and the only thing I can say is THANK YOU. Being able to know more about the Chinese culture and meet a lot of new volunteers, now friends, from other countries. And I really loved teaching the children, they are amazing!
