Our China PCVs serve in the Western provinces, Chongqing, Sichuan, Guizhou, and Gansu. I guess the nearest you might have come to seeing any of them would have been when you stopped through Guilin or Xi'an? It was really kind of you to offer to bring them stuff. :) I'm sure the sentiment was appreciated. ~thalia Hi Ken,

Pity no one took us up on our offer as we would have loved to have spent some time with PC China volunteers. I however will be in Vietnam for a week in November from the 16th to the 20th for the Jimmy Carter Works Project Habitat for Humanity build so there still may be a chance to help out in some way as it looks like I will be flying thru HongKong.

It is just as great as ever! I, too, was unable to access the materials page. I will try at home so I don't have the work server to go thru. Thanks for saving this wonderful activity and sharing it.

Should a few of your PCVs desire we could bring a few items over for them. I was a 3 year PCV in Ukraine (TEFL 2000-03) and someone once sent me a 5 lbs jar of peanut butter while I was in training and I thought I had died and returned to heaven to have such a familiar comfort food available. Plus my language cross culture instructors loved the stuff. They had never had it before. If we can help we will. We could then drop the items off at your PC office if it is in Beijing, Xian, Guilin or Shanghai.

I'm searching for more information on the universities and will certainly look up Three Gorges. I'm still waiting for PC to clear my medical review. Perhaps I could find employment through an agency as you did. Best of luck to you. Information on websites is narrow and limited to travel experiences rather than teaching - except for this one, which is a great help. Catt and others – Please keep me posted about your experiences.
