Long Term China Post

This is the information from the VIA website about the post in China that I am really hoping to get:

"Qinghai University (QNU) and Shem Women's Group or the Nationalities Department, English Training Program (ETP), Xining, Qinghai

Qinghai Normal is a key provincial university offering a liberal arts education and training for future and in-service teachers. It has 2,500 students who come from all parts of China.
Shem is a women’s group founded in 2004 by VIA volunteer Michelle Kleisath and several of her students in a small-scale development course she taught as a VIA volunteer in Xining. Shem’s aim is to empower Tibetan women and their communities through grassroots development.
ETP is designed exclusively for Tibetan students from all over the Tibetan plateau. ETP students are the very best from high schools, middle schools, and teacher training schools throughout the vast area of the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau. All students are on full scholarship and most have never studied English when they enter ETP. In addition to their coursework, students work on cultural preservation and small scale development projects aimed at improving the lives of rural Tibetans.

Role: English Teacher and English Resource -Two VIA volunteers will be posted in Xining. Both will teach English part time (approximately 10 hours per week) at Qinghai Normal University and volunteer part time as an English Resource person at either Shem or the English Training Program (ETP) that is part of QNU's Nationalities Department. The English Resource part of this position might include grant writing, editing, website revision, and English tutoring.Housing: The VIA volunteer lives in an on-campus apartment with bedroom, living room, kitchen, bathroom, and Internet access.

Place: Xining is the provincial capital and largest city of Qinghai, which is located on the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau in western China. One of China’s least populated provinces, Qinghai is a multi-ethnic region, with Tibetans, Hui, Tu, Salar, and Mongolians making up around 40% of its population. Several nonprofits working with Tibetan populations are headquartered here. "
