Big events: 10
Repeat events: 48
Other services: 15
Sponsors: 5
Our activities are varied in size, time, scope and interests as we are trying to serve a mix of multiple communities, the local community trying to expand their international knowledge and network, the not-so-local local community composed of locals that aren’t from Shenzhen city so they speak the language but haven’t yet made many friends in the area and of course the expat community hidden in every corner of the city and ready to get out of their apartment to build their network or just socialize outside of work, this makes for a very varied group of volunteers leading to a very eclectic range of activity styles and requests and thus to serve as many as best we could we started offering a voice to all of them and started asking the community leaders, which activities would be welcomed by the communities around us as we try to be inclusive and the culture difference requires adjustment in order to not do more harm than good.

OUR FAVORITES
Brewing culture
The brewing culture exchange event that took place Saturday 7th September exceeded expectations towards the support of The Miracle Boy of Liangjin’s Charity. We managed to raise a grand total of 2890 rmb!
The event was supported and encouraged by some local breweries such as The Bionic Brewery (Western Brewery from Shenzhen), Hanover Coffee (German coffee company roasted in China) and Blushbean (Chinese coffee company).
Being in collaboration with H.O.P.E, The International Volunteers Program, some of the volunteers put themselves forward to take part and introduced their own personal favourite “brews” such as Kambutcha, an old traditional brew of sweetened tea, and the upmost elegant traditional chinese ceremony.
A dream’s pursue
July 19th 2019, Duiu Onofrei taught a female self-defense class at the Shekou Net Valley, the focus was to give the attendees the ability to defend themselves from attackers, giving them some basic but effective moves to protect themselves.
BLACK BELT in Qwan Ki Do, Duiu is a national champion in his homeland of Romania, He’s been in China for over two years at this point, and his course aims to improve and develop self-confidence, self-defense techniques, and includes tips and exercises to maintain a healthy body.
With over thirty years of martial arts experience, his personal expertise showed in the precision, power and balance of his movements, but equally impressive was his teaching expertise, which was revealed in his ability to communicate with others and help them improve.
while the thought of defending yourself from an attacker is a serious one, the atmosphere was very upbeat and humorous, as the teaching style of Duiu was energetic and uplifting. Laughter filled the room on several occasions.

American culture
Charlie Barton had a culture exchange talk with a group of Chinese employees working in Shekou Net Valley
He’d been living in China for just over four months, and had absolutely loved his time here thus far. He likes how welcoming the people are, enjoys the food here, and relishes exploring the city of Shenzhen.
One of his favorite things about China is having so many opportunities for learning Mandarin, he loves practicing with the locals and continues to look forward to every opportunity to take advantage of the classes offered here and by the HOPE Program.
That Friday was an enthralling talk about his experiences in China, he said that from his own perspective, it’s been overall very positive. Charlie really enjoyed hearing stories and talking to people about where they’re from and how they like Shenzhen, and said that it was so interesting and enjoyable to hear all the questions from the audience.
They asked great questions on a variety of topics, ranging from the transportation system here compared to the system in America, if he liked chinese food, why many people in the U.S. had more or wanted more than two kids and the overall population of the U.S. compared to china
