Hey Folks<div><br></div><div>Wendy Becktold and I both went to China for two years (long ago) to teach English through VIA, the organization below. Perhaps if the economy has got you down, or you have always wanted to get to deeply know an Asian country and not just whiz through it - then this is a great opportunity. For many VIA alum it has influenced their careers, attitudes and life decisions. I know for me it was a life changing experience. </div><div><br></div><div>Applications are available now.</div><div><br></div><div>Amy</div><div><br></div><div> <br><br><hr id="stopSpelling">From: VIA_Volunteers_in_Asia@mail.vresp.com<br>To: tanxiaoyue@hotmail.com<br>Subject: Volunteer in Asia with VIA - Applications available now!<br>Date: Wed, 28 Oct 2009 22:04:30 +0000<br><br>
