Teaching in China: Joan’s Story

Teaching in China has been a joy! You never know what will happen from day to day. For instance, my husband and I were recently invited to go to a rural area nestled in the mountainous area of Boshan near our city. We would do some volunteer teaching at a small school and donate much-needed English language books on behalf of True English, a small private school in Zhangdian, Zibo. Boshan is one of the districts in the greater Zibo area. It was the municipal centre of Zibo until Zhangdian, the newer area took on that mantle about twenty years ago. It is famous for its hospitality and its amazing food, and I never pass up on a chance to visit.
