Cultural exchange, teaching English and community development projects with the local people on Hainan Island

The project will take place in the midst of the Xinjing village. Xinjing village is about 90 km away from the main city of Hainan Island, Haikou city. It is a community with a rich culture, consisting of 90 households.
The income of the people in the Xinjing area is basically from farming activities. They grow rice, vegetables, fruit trees, chicken, pigs, frogs, etc. The international volunteer group will experience the farmer's life in this rural China village as there will be farm stay activities scheduled during the workcamp. During the project participants will work together with other volunteers, local students and villagers of different ages. The main activities will be:
- Developing friendships among the international volunteers and the local people (students, teachers and villagers).
- Cultural exchange and interaction sessions will be planned according to the needs and interests of the participants. The volunteers will have the opportunity to learn about the rich Chinese culture, history and way of life.
- Teaching the local children and students to speak English in a creative way. Volunteers will use their own way and ideas to communicate with them. The English teaching is seen as a means for the local people to meet friends from other parts of the world so that their mental horizon expands.
- Helping the villagers with community service projects for the betterment of their living environment. This will involve light construction work or some environmental and health education projects or helping in the farms, depending on the interest of the group.
