Student Activities

CLS participant Shavia Westmoreland (Beijing ’11) spent some of her free time during the CLS program volunteering as an English teacher at an orphanage for disabled children. The orphanage is located in the Maquanying area of Chaoyang district in Beijing. In order to interact with the children, who ranged in age from 3 years old to 10 years old, Ms. Westmoreland sometimes utilized her Chinese skills to explain the English she was teaching. She is one of many CLS students who sought out independent volunteer opportunities in their host countries during the CLS program.
