Three Seniors Teach English For WorldTeach Program

Three Harvard students volunteering with WorldTeach, a nonprofit organization based at Harvard, have left for China, where they will be teaching English in a public high school on the outskirts of Shanghai.

Joy Y. Chen '96, Brett R. Conner '96 and Emmeline F. Li '96 joined 22 other volunteers from the U.S., Canada and France for an eight-week program designed to provide a cross-cultural perspective and help Chinese students gain a better knowledge of English.

WorldTeach was founded by a Harvard student who spent a year teaching in a rural Kenyan school in 1987. The program now coordinates programs in China, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Namibia, Poland, Thailand and Mexico.
