Teaching Intern: Chinese Food
China has so much culinary goodness to offer I couldn’t even attempt to break it all down in one small article. Beijing alone has so many of its own fantastic dishes! The following are a few of my favourites which I returned to China knowing I wanted more of. However, I don’t even mention the […]
MoreVolunteer Intern: Mimi’s Adventure
As I walked up to security, my eyes filled with tears. I was about to leave everything I had known and travel halfway across the world to China. I was leaving my comfort zone and everything that was familiar to me including my family, friends, food and so much more. This would be the longest […]

MoreWorking In China – Sameer Choglay
One of the main reasons for me embarking on this internship was my passion for working in the healthcare industry. I know I want to help people, medically, I just don’t know how. Prior to arriving in China I worked for a pharmaceutical company; it took me a while to figure out that it wasn’t […]

MoreArriving At My Volunteer Placement: Day 1
I left the hustle and bustle of Beijing’s central business district behind this afternoon to embark on a 2-week adventure!
