Slaan posted:Sweet. I believe they only do English teaching there? Yep, China is just English teaching at universities/trade schools. There used to be a environmental volunteers, but they kept on trying to actually do things, which the PRC didn't care for.

xcdude24 posted:For the English teachers on here, what kind of secondary projects do you do, and what percentage of your work is comprised of doing these activities? It really depends on your country. In Bulgaria, I spent the majority of my time on secondary projects. In China less than 20%, and PCVs are generally discouraged from working with any NGOs or non-profits.

Monkey Fury posted:Are there chances for volunteers to run meaningful secondary projects in China? Yes, absolutely. Lots of people do meaningful secondary projects, but you have to be very proactive and also willing to not push too hard if you think it's going to ruffle any feathers. For example, one volunteer did amazing work at a special needs orphanage, but it took her a year to convince the administration that she wasn't just trying to get inside to do a smear piece. Just be patient at your site while you build connections and figure out what's actually possible. I have no idea about a second NAC, but I doubt it.

almost every one in China teaches at the university level, hence the "Welcome to our China"
