We offer free Chinese language and mountain biking classes between 15th July - 20th August 2016
By joining our camp you will be entering the paradise of the Chinese language and culture, you will be riding bicycles in nature, through unoccupied areas, you will be breathing fresh air, relaxing, eating healthy, getting away from noise, heat and air conditioning!
Your participation will lead to helping people in need, to contributing to the thermal isolation of villagers' homes - and thus cutting less trees for heating -, raising monuments in the locations of archaeological sites from even the Neolithic or Paleolithic, renovating important buildings or historical monuments in the rural area, and last but not least, promoting Romanian rural tourism around the world! :-)
It is possible we might extend the period to July 1st and August 31st. We will announce this on Facebook.
The Chinese language and mountain biking classes, trips, wagon rides and guide services are free of charge.
Lodging will be provided at the headquarters of the Leisure&Chinese NGO. Participants will cook for themselves with ingredients we provide. Payment for these services is a minimum of 50 RON per day for adults, and 25 RON per day for children. The payment will be done as a donation to the bank account of the "Leisure&Chinese" association, and this money, to which the association will add more if needed, will be used to thermally isolate the villagers' homes. Certainly during the winter there will be less fire wood used, and thus we will be reducing the cutting of the forest.
Whoever owns a company can make the donation via their company and benefit from tax reductions.
Whoever has at home clothes and toys they no longer need, can donate them to the hosting family or to other poor families from the village.
Minors will be accompanied by an adult.
There will be a maximum of 15 participants within the same period of time. As soon as one leaves, we will let you know and someone else can join. :-)
Anyone can stay as much as they want, the time spent in our camp will count for how many free lessons of Chinese language you will be receiving afterwards via Skype or other messenger programs: whoever stays one week will receive one week of free lessons, whoever stays two weeks will receive free Chinese language lessons for two weeks, and so on. The payment for the online classes will also be done as a donation to the NGO's bank account.
For those who are not interested in Chinese calligraphy or who do not necessarily want to learn to write characters, they can come with a laptop and a memory stick in order to receive study materials. The Chinese language level exam (HSK) can also be taken on a computer. According to statistics from China, the results of the HSK taken on a computer are higher by 10 points compared to the exam taken on paper. As such you can learn directly to type Chinese characters at a pc. Especially for those who only wish to know Chinese in order to do business in China: in order to learn how to send emails in Chinese or how to read them, there is no need to learn how to write characters by hand.
Just like last year, grandparents and parents will learn Chinese alongside children: it is easier and more fun. :-)
If you are a bit sensitive: make sure to have one pair of long trousers at a minimum, for walking on hills, as you might encounter thistle and thorny weeds.
As for shoes: besides the slippers you can wear around the yard, make sure to have sports shoes for walks and trips.
