Volunteerism in Chinese Gardens.
What more can YOU do to bridge the cultural gap:
Yes, for those of you, who find themselves visiting and re-visiting Chinese gardens; again & again, whether for viewing or being part of the scene, in activities provided for your education, enjoyment and relaxation...
Well, you can turn it into a vocation; yet you might still believe, some of us are a little crazy perhaps?
Still, what can YOU do to take being a visitor, to the next level of involvement ?
Volunteerism in a Chinese Garden
Write yourselves into the scene.....
it is said of children, that the greatest gift you can give them is your time.
Chinese gardens are the ' brain child ' of Chinese literati scholars.
Most Chinese gardens around the globe, have a volunteer arrangement; encouraging community involvement.
Please, take it from one, who well knows...
Volunteerism in Chinese gardens, is very
Rewarding
for those who avail themselves of the opportunity.
Whether that involvement is in:
- administrating
- guiding
- hosting
- maintaining or
- supporting
let me assure you, getting involved as a Chinese garden's volunteer;
is like encompassing a passion for Chinese Art Culture..
to become part of the scene...
WARNING:
Without adequate volunteers - problems can arise....
