We believe everyone is born equal thus shall have equal rights to access to educational resources. Societies at Cambridge are well-known for their tradition of carrying on charitable and welfare activities. Following this respectable spirit, CEEDS has been working extensively with organisations in the UK and China to organise educational and communication events to help schools and students in China.

Each summer, CEEDS organises volunteer teaching programme to send Cambridge students to schools in post-earthquake regions of Western China to interact with the local students and teach English language and other subjects.

Volunteer’s Diary – CEEDS 2011 Summer Volunteer Programme in Post-Earthquake Regions in China
Heidi：Being part of CEEDS summer teaching project was an unforgettable experience and i would thoroughly recommend it to anyone. The areas that we worked in where truly unique and the kind of area that you would not get to see otherwise. The children are enthusiastic and friendly, despite everything that they have been through. I couldn’t imagine a better way to spend my summer vacation.
