The primary teachers of Ludi Primary School have asked us to help them establish and develop their own environmental club, such as Roots and Shoots. This camp is therefore particularly suited to students with an interest in environmental issues, and/or teaching. Slide 13 We are currently working with Indier Camps, China to create three distinct camp programmes. Each camp will be in a different location within China. Each camp will have a unique service project, thereby allowing you to choose the type of work that is most closely related to your interests and/or future career choices. Slide 14 The Conghua camp offers students a unique opportunity to work with the local people within our very own province. During this camp you will complete a road and bridge- building project. This camp will be particularly suited to students with an interest in design technology, engineering or construction. Slide 15 On the Pingyi camp, you will visit the Yimeng Mountain area. During this camp you help to decorate a village primary school, which was established by an old soldier of the red army. The school now lacks funds for maintenance and decoration. This camp will be particularly suited to students with an interest in art and/or design technology. Slide 16 On the Rongshui camp you will stay in the Miao Autonomous Country. You will assist with the harvesting and farm work in the local village. By doing this, you will reduce the pressure on local families, meaning that their children can remain in school. This camp will be particularly suited to students with an interest in humanities. In addition, it is suited to those who will enjoy working outdoors whilst learning about harvesting and food production. Slide 17 Payment: no further payment is required for any of these camps.
