My kids and I will be visiting Hong Kong for 2 weeks and they are very experienced volunteers in the United States. They speak fluent English and Cantonese. How do we contact Michelle McEwen to see if she needs a classsroom helper for a couple of weeks in August? Please reply at ehung@pacbell.net. Thanks.

Hi, I have just arrived in Hong Kong a few weeks ago and would be looking to do some voluntary work. I have done voluntary work with children's charities in Scotland and I am also a CELTA qualified native English teacher. However, I also speak fluent Cantonese as I am a British Born Chinese. Please could you inform me as to how I could get involved as I would really like to help!

Thanks,
Elizabeth

Hi Angela,
I am currently living in seoul and looking for volunteer work in an orphanage. What orphanage were you at and how did you organise it? I am struggling to find the information as a lot of the websites are in korean and there are a lot of broken links,
Thanks,
Katie

Hello,

I am a qualified Primary School teacher who was working for the English Schools Foundation here in Hong Kong. I am currently bringing up my baby boy and have some free time. I would very much like to help out with any teaching or care of children. I have experience and I am qualified to teach English as an
Additional Language (EAL), the UK National Curriculum (all subjects for 3-12 yrs.) I love teaching drama and reading stories. I also have several years of experience working with
children with Special Education Needs.

If there is a need for my services I would be very happy to work for free and I am able to make a commitment for at least half a day each week.

Please let me know if I can be of help.

Kind regards,
Deborah White debswhite101@hotmail.com or 95305125

The Po Leung Kuk program is indeed a great project and am so glad to see many volunteers.
Recently I realised there are story telling sessions at public libraries but they are only in Chinese and limited to one or two sessions on Saturdays, parents have to pay hundreds for children to attend English play groups to gain exposure to English (naturally limited to the privileged group who can afford them).
It would be great if there would be interest in a volunteer program that organises English story telling at public libraries or even community centres. It will not only help raise the level of language capability but general education level, keeps some kids off the streets or away from computer games.
We might eventually avoid kids from producing kids for Po Leung Kuk.
Would be happy to take initiate the project if anybody think it is a good idea and would like to chip in some effort.

I am a Singaporean who just moved from NYC to Hong Kong. Having too much time on my hands, I would love to volunteer. I do not have any experience with kids but I am willing to learn. (Got to start from somewhere) I can speak english and mandarin but I can’t read mandarin I love to help out in anyway I can even if its just to play games.
