China is the largest developing country in the world and this project needs international volunteers to help its rapidly developing society. There is a great need for native English speakers to come and improve the quality of language instruction in China. Volunteers help by enhancing educational opportunities for the people of China enabling them to attend better college institutions, find better employment, and be able to effectively communicate in English.
