Yunnan Province, Lijiang city, Yulong county, Liming township, Liguang Village.
Organizer:
JIA Work Camp Yunnan Committee.
Project:
This village is located in LiJiang Yulong county, Liming township, LiGuang village. From the village to LiJiang is about 4 km. In January the first JIA workcamp was held in the village in cooperation with the Asian Green Foundation ShenZhen. Volunteers and Beijing Forestry University experts monitored the forest ecological distribution and growth. In July and August the workcamps will go on promoting more environmentally friendly actions, especially the classification of garbage. Furthermore there will be exchanges with the villagers, understanding the nature of industrial society, the economic squeeze, and promotion of an ecologically sustainable development. We will carry out features of education and through the volunteers and the children, inspire the interaction of the children's creativity.
Accommodation:
It depends on the project (big tents, classrooms, community centres, etc.) but in most places you will need a sleeping bag and mat. Sometimes there is no electricity and not enough tap water to drink. Hard to take showers but we will try our best to meet your demands (even a bucket a day.) Please check details on the Info Sheet you will get from us through VAP after you have been confirmed at the project.
Book the flights as soon as being accepted:
Please don’t wait for the Information Sheet, otherwise you may miss economical flights! In all workcamps in China, we will pick volunteers up from the airport, railway station or long distance bus station. So, we advise volunteers to arrive/leave China at least a few days before/after the project, also because volunteers should not expect so much sightseeing during the project. If you want to do it, please do it before/after the workcamp. It is quite possible to stay in a Youth Hostel, guest house, travelers’ hotel, etc. (4-10 US$ per night) together with volunteers from the same workcamp before/after the workcamp and we Chinese are very hospitable to foreigners! You can get a chance to do a home-stay as well. Why not? If you want they will accept you kindly and be your guide to travel around to enjoy the marvellous scenic sights and experience the diversified culture of the different ethnic groups of our country (More details in the Info Sheet!).

« I would recommend participating in a workcamp, especially with VAP, who ensured that I found a project to suit me and provided essential training for me in preparation for my trip. Being part of a workcamp really is a life-changing experience, oh, and it looks great on your CV! »
