We also have placements available in orphanage schools. These children are disadvantaged and would especially benefit from your volunteer efforts. Yantai, lying at the eastern tip of Shandong Peninsula, is a beautiful coastal region. Bordered by the Yellow Sea and the Bohai Sea, she faces South Korea and Japan across the water. Yantai is important as an agricultural, industrial, commercial, and scientific centre, and is also a popular tourist destination with spectacular scenery.
