Volunteer Programs in Taipei, Taiwan

This experience was extremely rewarding and motivated me to study more about teaching in order to become a great teacher. I was so happy to spend time with the children, but also with the teachers who taught me so many things. Working with children is not always easy, because they sometimes don't know how to express their feelings, and you have to understand it yourself in order to teach them well and take good care of them. Thanks to the teachers I can now understand them better. As the culture is different, their behavior might be different as well. This internship was a good challenge for me, and I hope the children will remember me because I will go to Taiwan to see them in the future, for sure!

I am majoring in Chinese, so I needed to do my internship in a Chinese speaking country. In the first place, I was only thinking about China, but when I had the interview with the staff of Meiji internships, she said that they also had partnerships in Taiwan, Hong Kong or Singapore, so I took some time to think, and I decided to be open for all the destinations. After that, they contacted me because a Taiwanese company was interested in me! The interview went well, and I decided to go for this internship. The whole process was clear and the agency was reliable and accessible. Life in Taiwan was wonderful. I was staying in a sharehouse with other interns who were adorable! Everyone was not so familiar with the cleaning so it was a bit annoying sometimes, but other than that, everything was perfect!
