In China many families live in extreme poverty. This is especially true of the mountain villages of the Guilin/Yangshuo area of Guangxi Province where many farm families live a meager existence on a bit of land.
V.E.T. is dedicated to placing volunteer English teachers in these poor schools to expose the students to the English language, different cultures and the opportunity to mix with people from all over the world. For a few days, a week, or a month, volunteers to this beautiful region will have the experience of a lifetime. V.E.T. will provide free orientation and transportation. For giving a week or more of your time free accommodation and some meals will be supplied. The benefits to the children are many, besides being able to pass English exams to continue school, the ability to speak even a little English and to feel comfortable around foreigners will assure them of a job in tourist rich Yangshuo. Even a few hours a week learning Basic English and practicing what their Chinese English teachers have taught them will help tremendously.
