8th Semester of Volunteer Teaching

Zhaonan, originally from Hebei province, is the principal of Amu Elementary School in Abojue Village. He is one of the volunteer teachers in our Support a Volunteer Teacher Program in China, wherein we fund our volunteers’ living and transport costs in the remote areas assigned to them.

 

This is Teacher Zhaonan’s eighth semester of volunteer teaching. In addition to his daily school management responsibilities, he is also responsible for teaching Chinese in Class and serves as the homeroom teacher for Class One in Grade 1 level.

Teacher Zhaonan possesses a strong sense of responsibility and approaches teaching with seriousness and precision. He loves the school and cares deeply for the students, guiding them and helping them grow. He is the kind of teacher that every student is blessed to have.

 


We have partnered with five remote mountainous Sichuan schools where our volunteer teachers will be located. These volunteer teachers don’t receive a salary but live off the support from this program to meet their food, accommodation, and transport expenses. Access to these schools is difficult, and these schools struggle to get teachers because of the harsh weather and isolation so your support means a lot to the students.

Thank you to ZURU, GPA Global, ISNS, and supporters from Captivating’s Annual Shenzhen Charity Auction for making this program supporting 30 volunteer teachers possible. 

Over 1,200 primary school students from remote rural schools wanted us to pass on a big “thank-you” for improving their education.
