Blessing Hands

Sponsor your own special student:

Primary, middle school, high school, or college students can be sponsored from our website array or contact us through the website to be matched with a waiting student.

Be a pen pal to your sponsored student or other Blessing Hands students:

Students want English and Chinese pen pals.

Share the needs of the Blessing Hands students with others:

Your club, church, service club, family, or work group might be interested in helping Chinese students. We will send you a PowerPoint presentation in traditional or simplified Chinese or English. You can be trained to talk about our students and their needs. We also have brochures in both simplified and traditional Chinese or English that you can use with your presentation. Groups asking for Blessing Hands presentations in your area can be referred to you. Use the contact us page to make requests for supplies.

Use PayPal with your Facebook or MySpace account to raise support:

You can raise support from your online friends for Blessing Hands students.

Use the new PayPal fundraising badge to raise money right from your personal page.

Volunteer with Blessing Hands:

Offer your special talents for Chinese translation, fundraising, commercial art, computers, pen pal services, or secretarial work. Some work can be done by e-mail, so it doesn’t matter where you live. We especially need a volunteer grant writer.

Teach English in China:

Schools in Yangshuo and Qinzhou in Guangxi Province would enjoy visiting English teachers for a day, week, semester, or year. A teaching degree is not required for short term service, but a teacher on a one year contact will need a college degree. Contact us for more information.

Choose a School or Student to Support:

The power of many lets groups sponsor Blessing Hands students from a whole school or a college scholarship student. Match your school, class, or club with all the Blessing Hands students in a school in China or for a college scholarship for one student. Your brotherhood relationship will teach your group about service in other cultures and open a new window on the world for your sponsored students.

Sponsor a Humanitarian Trip to China:

Develop your own summer humanitarian tour to Yangshuo or Qinzhou, China with the assistance of Blessing Hands. We have had an eyeglass clinic and would like to see water projects, medical clinics, and other humanitarian offerings. Summer English camp volunteers or teaching English for a semester are other possibilities.

Ask a Blessing Hands Representative to speak to your group:

If you are interested in sponsoring Blessing Hands or having a fund raising activity through your church or service group, we will consider sending you a representative from Blessing Hands to inform your group (If we have a volunteer in your area).

Blessing Hands interns:

When a Blessing Hands group goes to China, we sometimes consider taking a college student as our intern. These arrangements would have to be made through your university and would require you to provide most of your travel expenses yourself. College credit can sometimes be arranged. Service can be for a semester and result in a grade jointly given by your university and Blessing Hands.

Be a pen pal:

As you can read below Blessing Hands students are always eager to practice their English skills with pen pals their own age. Older student like to use e-mail, although computers in China often require patience. Sign up to write one of our students.(Link)
