Question

    More college students find it a rich experience to help people in developing countries during holidays.

Zhao Yuti, a 21-year-old student, went to Siem Reap, Cambodia on Aug. 19 to teach English voluntarily for one week in a school. Such voluntary work has become a popular choice for college students. The experience was great for Zhao as he immersed (沉浸) himself in a new country. What touched Zhao most was the children’s need for knowledge.

“I felt I was needed and would like to let them know more,” he said.

The summer holidays provide chances for Chinese college students to travel or do internships. Voluntary work has become more popular among students, especially in low-income (低收入) countries.

Zhao enjoyed his time there and experienced a different culture. One young girl stayed in his memory because she had an angelic smile. He called her “the temple girl”, and every day when she came to class, Zhao said that he was won over by her beautiful smile.

Zhao came back to school in early September and continued to finish his study. “My heart has become stronger since I came back from Cambodia,” he said.

“I hope to look for more chances for voluntary work in more countries when I am still young.”
