The China project is one of TravelAId's newest projects. In June 2009, TravelAid sent a team of 10 volunteers to Mingshan Number One Middle School, Sichuan for the first time. The team were the first westerners to live and work in this area of Sichuan. The provincial government as well as the school administration arevery enthusiastic and supportive of this TravelAid project and are looking forward to the third year of the project in 2011.
