I am Teddy from Shanghai.

Now I am working in a Call Centre company as an internship.

East villagers gave me a lot of opportunity to do volunteering service when I was a sophomore.

I am so thankful what EV do for me.

EV helps me to know how to talk with people in right ways.   EV provides me to travel in China to do volunteer service and let me know more about my country.  EV helps me improve my English.  EV lets me know a lot of good people who enjoy giving and helping. Some of them become my close friends.

EV can provide us an environment that we can practice any kind of skills which we want to learn.  To me,  I learn how to design a website, how to translate English to Chinese, how to build a team, how to negotiate with people,how to be a good leader,how to make a productive project ...

And the most important thing I am thankful for EV are the godly people I met and the cool experience I did.

Now I will leave my college soon.    and my work will be more and more busy.    But I still want to be a good villager in EV, and I still want to do some volunteer service to help people.

So what should I do now?    thinking...

I think I can help to let more and more people know eastvillagers and dongcunzu from now then.    and I will spend more free time to get on EV website to post some comments ,write some blogs,and help new villagers on EV.

because EV is not just a website to me, actually EV is a relationship to my life.

I am sorry that I didn't know what I should do after I finished my LRS summer camp project since last summer. I am seeking....

And these days,   I feel a great desire to come back EV website again.   In fact I found i miss EV very much.

Dear Villagers,    I LOVE EV very much.      

I hope you can find the peace, joy, love on EV,too.

teddy loves cute kids so much!!!!

since i have been back from beijing, my family, my friends, and other people who really think they understand me and care for me came to me.

they all asked me a same question,  why do u spend a lot of time on non profit?  they are looking forward to a good reason. 

so i had to ask myself about this question carefully these days.   but unfortunately, even i don't know a perfect reason for my enthusiasm.

in order to let more chinese to take part in volunteer service and enjoy it, in order to make my friends feel comfortable.

so i try to make some good reasons.

to my family, i told them i really learn a lot of skills and practise english from my non profit volunteer service.

to my friends, i told them i can help a lot of kids with my love, i can know different culture from my projects, i can make some foreign friends who really gave me some good suggestion .

 but some guys really want to know how much i can get paid?    and some friends think maybe i can find a american girlfriend in my project. and some of them guess i can find a good boss who likes me to invest my business.

so my point is:     is it really so necessary to get a reason to do one thing? 

in fact, i just spend my entertainment time on doing volunteer.  and i really enjoy it and have fun. and i didn't waste any time so far!!!

so if you really want to know the truth and my real reason, my answer is : no reason, just do it.

that's my attitude for non profit.

but i can give u two sentences which encourage me a lot when i do volunteer service, maybe u can find a reason by yourself.

-the goal of our instruction is love,that comes from a pure heart,a clean conscience,and a sincere faith.

-no eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived, what God has prepared for those who love him.
