Cambridge Hong-Kong Operation for International Children's Education [CHOICE]

We are a group of Cambridge University Hong Kong students that share vision and drive of making a difference in the world around us. As students, we are often reminded of the many social issues in the world, and as responsible world citizens, we aim to do everything in our power to alleviate these issues.

What we hope to achieve can be summarized as follows:
• To work with local NGOs and communities in various developing countries to learn about, target, and ultimately alleviate pressing issues.
• To inspire and strengthen the interests of our volunteers towards issues in the developing world through participation in rigorous development projects and exchange of cultural values
• To make good use of our positions as privileged students in order to gather and mobilize resources as best we can, and deliver them to places in need through carefully targeted projects

In this project, we aim to bring the passion of a dozen core volunteers to a developing Asian country for charity work centered on education. Our intentions are:
• To interact with and enlighten children through various engaging classroom and outdoor activities
• To involve volunteers with various different interests (such as art, language and sport) in the designing of those activities
• To share our passion towards learning with rural areas and inspire those we come into contact with
• To become more aware of development issues through first hand experience and exchange of cultural values with the host community
• And above all, to build a foundation of trust and mutual respect with the local community, on which we can co-ordinate a second trip next year.
