What's the situation with volunteering in China? Can anyone
recommend any good chinese charities to work for? Thanks for
your help!

Mosat volunteer work here id rife with graft -- teaching
Engl. at any Govt. school is essentially volunteer work as
is working at a private lng. school. There is the British
VSO to look into -- good luck, but remember altrusim isn't a
common trait here. rd
help the tibetans, the last thing you should do is help
chinese, sorry I feel so strongly. What the chinese are
doing in Tibet is beyond comprehension.
SD, have you ever gone to Tibet?
When was the last time you went?
Sorry if I offended anyone as I probably have. I have just
returned from Tibet, the tibetans are slowly but surely
being squeezed aside\out of their old country, Lhasa is
changing rapidly into a city of 20th/21st century. The
chinese government are rehousing alot of locals in new
apartments. But imagine taking an eskimo, north american
indian and thrusting them into new york it is not a change
that anyone could step straight into. (Lhasa is no New
York, thats why I went there). The change needs to be
gradual if the tibetans are to cope. Volunteer and help the
chinese where they need it but I feel they dont need help in
tibet. Meanwhile visit Tibet. And if you were there 10 years
ago you will see the change, I wasnt but the evidence is
being bulldozed as we speak. Thankyou and apologies.
