Several of our Lifepegs volunteers have been spending part of their winter break in Singapore. Most of them are teachers of English at universities in northeast China. One of their evenings here was spent at the Goducate office. It was a time for them and the Goducate headquarters team to get to know each other, for them to tell us about their experiences in China, and for them to learn something about Goducate work outside of China.
Lifepegs is an international lifeskills activity club based in Changchun, Jilin Province. Most of its members come from the 70 or so universities in the area. On top of that there are several Lifepegs societies within some of the universities.
Lifepegs activities are geared towards providing young adults with unique opportunities for healthy relationships, essential lifeskills education, and new and exciting forms of recreation. Its tagline is “Adventures You Can Hang Your Life On”. Through the club’s various activities, Lifepegs members learn about other cultures, about networking, about management, and about leadership.
Goducate hopes that the lifeskills learnt through Lifepegs will produce people who can contribute to globalization and to helping other needy communities.
