[nabs-l] Volunteer to help blind orphans in China

[Jing Crystal Wu 吴晶]

Dear all,

I am currently working in an orphanage for the blind in Beijing. Bethel Home 
has 45 blind children, and it's a NGO orphanage run by a french couple. Just 
wonder if any students will be interested to do internship or volunteer work 
in Beijing. You may visit
www.bethelchina.org

Most of the kids speak English and Chinese. Many of the volunteers are from 
Europe and North America. Too bad I have to return to school in Stockholm 
this summer. Hope any of you can support and help the kids in any way you 
can. Thanks.

Sincerely,
Crystal
