My Dream Comes True
2006.09.20
Maybe you've been Yunnan before,that is a beautiful place,a dreamy land full of happiness.
I was lucky I had a chance to go there,I saw something other people may don't know,I will tell you my stories there,I will tell you a real life in Yunnan.
*******************************************
After graduating from college,for the whole summer,I'd been finding jobs but received nothing.I started to think about some other things I can do except finding work.I thought about people living in rural areas.My experiences in Sanjiang made me thought about that.I wondered how they live there,some places isolating from morden cities.I wanted to experience their lives.
One day I found a way.I saw some news by chance,it said a student spent her summer holiday teaching in an elementary school in rural erea,western part of China.She taught as a volunteer,she said she found this work on a web site. A NGO union helps education in western China.There they need a lot of volunteers to teach in rural areas.
No better than this way.I thought I'm the suitable person to do this work.I left my information on their page,many provinces need people to go.
I found some educational situations about ethnic autonomous regions in Yunnan Province.I learnt that a county called Gengma Dai and Wa Autonomous County need some volunteers to teach elementary schools and middle schools.The county located in southwest of Yunnan,almost on the border of China,north to Burma.They told me it's a little dangerous to go to such a place because of criminal trades.People there may have frequent contacts with traders from those countries that producing drugs.
The organizer in charge of recruitment said we will go to an elementary school in a small town,north to Gengma County.There usually only one teacher teaching all students in school.It's absolutely incredible!!I was shocked by their hard lives,the really hard lives......The organizers planned to let all volunteers have a short time training before we go.We'll get together in Shanghai in December,study for about two months,we'll go in early spring,after Spring Festival,at the beginning of February.
