Since 2009, Lifepegs, Goducate’s international lifeskill-based activity center for young adults in a city in Northeast China, has:
– maintained relationship with current 1700 active members;
– hosted total of 7 four-week English Summer camps;
– organized more than 600 activities reaching out to more than 8000 young adults;
– started on-campus-societies in 6 universities.
The center is geared towards providing members with essential life skills education, unique opportunities for healthy relationships, and new and exciting recreation.
Every activity from rock wall climbing to learning about financial management to traveling to a distant city is meant to teach a life skill as well as provide some new and exciting experiences whilst they get to know each other and find a lasting and enthusiastic group of friends.
Members are also invited to take part in a leadership training program which evaluates the development of their leadership skills and presents them with opportunities to lead activities. Some of these trained leaders believed in the philosophy and dreamt about setting up more Student Activity Centres in other parts of China. And, their dream has indeed come true!
Right now, as you are reading this article, two core teams of 6 native workers trained by Goducate are working hard to set up two Student Activity Centres in southern China. These new centres aim to help more than 60,000-70,000 students from 8 universities in one city, and in another, 50000+ students from 3 major universities.
Goducate has achieved its mission of helping these young adults in China to help themselves as they seize the opportunities to acquire life skills and an education that goes far beyond their university or their individual abilities.
Moreover, they are now transferring what they have learnt and passed on to their fellow folks a set of adventures that they can truly hang their lives on!
