9. Group activities plan One-on-one program for children in Westen China Only for those who know Chinese HSHG has launched One-on-one projects since 2005. Schools give us the list of poor students or orphans. We let volunteers (normally from other cities) visit the Western China to collect more information about those families and to verify the information offered by schools. With our years’ standard process, volunteers will discuss and determine who will get chance to put their information on HSHG website. (We only put background and family story on website, neither private photos nor family member names. Only contributor who attends one-on-one project and has connection with this child could reach complete information). After HSHG picks the one-on-one contributor for this child, the contributor will transfer the funds to the contracted teacher and the teacher will deliver the cash to child every month to prevent poor family parents from occupying the funds. We currently have Chinese one-on-one projects only on HSHG website. We suggest contributors to communicate with children by letters frequently. We therefore prefer Chinese people to help those children. If you really want to help those children please feel free to contact us via email. Normal donation standard: - Primary school student ( 小学生） : RMB500 / year - Junior school student ( 初中生） : RMB1000 / year - Senior school student ( 高中生 ): RMB2000 / year * For some orphans or very poor family, we will indicate individual costs for each of them.

10. Group activities plan Voluntary family visiting activities to Westen China Only for Adults more than 25 years old How to make sure the student information for one-on-one projects all real and accurate? We have voluntary family visiting project every year. We do not have fixed schedule for family-visiting activities every year because all volunteers are from different cities in China. It will not be safe in summer to the Western China due to terrible rain season. Please check our forum and recent family-visiting plan. All volunteers have to take interviews and trainings before you go to the Western China. All volunteers must buy insurance policy for your trip. All expense during family-visiting will be paid by volunteer themselves. Family-visting time cost: -To Anhui or Zhejiang: 2 days (weekend) - To SuiNing City in Sichuan: 3 days - To Shanxi ( 陕西 ): 5-7 days - To XiChang City in Sichuan: 15+ days Family visiting project is a good chance to know real life in the Western China.

He or she is the link between the respective organization and InterNations. Once the organization is selected, Activities are organized by the Charity Consul and InterNations members can start volunteering in the project. The most important role as a Charity Consul is to ensure that there are Activities taking place every month. Please note that everybody can post Activities! As the Charity Group focuses only on one project per community it is very important that only Activities related to this specific project are posted.
