elderly have family members visit once or twice a year, but other than that they
have few opportunities to communicate with the outside world.
This past winter (2007) and summer we hosted work camps in Xiaoshuitang to help fix their roads
and harvest. We can live with the villagers well there.
In 2008, JIA hold 3workcamps and 1workshop;
January- made water deposit pool (with oversea students from Bei Jing)
February- home visiting (Yun Nan Committee members)
March- road repair (with Yale students)
April- Coordinator workshop (JIA Yun Nan committee)
July- work camp with SKT global sunny(Korea)
August- work camp
Accommodation and daily live
l We will buy the food and cook by ourselves everyday in the camp.
l We will bring the drinking water to the village for the campers.
l We will sleep in 2 rooms, one for female and one for male.
l You can bring the sleeping bag of your own or rent form the center.
l There are insects in the countryside, so be prepared for that.
l It is very possible that it is lack of water in the village at that time,
we should save water and even can not take a shower.
l It is safe in the village, but reminds to pay attention to the dogs and insects.
l Climate l Language – the villagers there speak local language (quite different form mandarin.)
