Popular Programs

turtle

Based at a dedicated turtle conservation centre in Huidong, this program supports four different species of sea turtles. It’s a hands-on experience where you’ll learn about these incredible creatures through direct involvement in their daily care.Your responsibilities may include feeding the turtles, cleaning their tanks or enclosures, and helping keep their environment safe by removing litter from nearby beaches.

teaching

Although English is part of the school curriculum from a young age, many areas in China still face a shortage of qualified English teachers. This is where your support can make a big difference. You’ll help students improve their basic English skills through fun, engaging methods such as songs, games, and simple conversational activities. You may also lead creative sessions including drawing, colouring, writing, sports, and crafts.

culture

Located in the tranquil village of Fengyan near Guilin, this cultural immersion week offers a meaningful introduction to rural Chinese life. Surrounded by natural beauty and rich heritage, you’ll explore traditional villages, visit important cultural landmarks such as a Confucius temple and a Guan Gong temple, browse local fairs, and discover the stunning landscapes of the region.
