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

[Jing Crystal Wu 吴晶]

Dear Beth,

I am teaching English at the center, and also doing project consultant work. 
So far, we have one mobility instructor from California, one 
multiple-disability educator from France, one blind Braille teacher, one 
music teacher, and five Chinese teachers. Of course, the orphanage have many 
care-givers, administraters, fund raisers, public relation manager and staff 
members. Bethel has foster care, education and self-care training for kids. 
Bethel even has its own farm field, so the kids can help to feed dogs, 
goats, chickens, ducks. Right now, I am trying to push to open up a job 
training course; however, I can't stay in Beijing for too long. If any of 
you is interested to do job training, counciling, independence training, I 
am sure you will be very helpful in Bethel.

I must encourage kids to learn, to live and to travel independently. It'll 
be wonderful if we can something together. My skype is
