Teresa was, until recently, TakingITGlobal's Chinese Language & Engagement Coordinator. I had the pleasure of working with her over the past six months and getting to know her and the team a little better. You can get to know her, too, by visiting her Profile Page here
1. Can you tell us a bit about yourself?
I was born and raised in Hong Kong. I graduated from the Chinese University of Hong Kong with a major in Anthropology. I also studied in Copenhagen, Denmark and Hawai'i, USA. I love traveling and meeting new friends. I also enjoy singing and cooking.
2. How did you become an on-line volunteer?
Last year I participated in the Asia-Pacific Leadership Program at the East West Center in Hawai'i. There, I met new friends who were passionate about bringing positive change to the world. A friend of mine who knew I am passionate about youth development recommended I apply for a volunteer position at TIG and that's how it all started for me!
3. What kind of tasks do you normally perform?
As a Chinese Language and Engagement Coordinator, I recruited our team members (18 students working as translators, researchers and facilitators) and developed and implemented a 6-month plan to make the Chinese language platform more active. I also provided regular support to different team members and ensured we worked well as a team.
4. What are your overall thoughts on the experience?
I really enjoyed the experience and I hope that my team mates had an opportunity to learn from each other, too. I also think it we would all benefit from interacting with other on-line volunteers from the various language platforms- because that's the strength of on-line volunteering!

Writer Profile
Chiara C.
I grew up with a book in my hand and a suitcase in the other. Traveling is what activated my thirst for knowledge and my curiosity. I am interested in anything that has to do with: active citizenship, ethical banks, time banks, ethical tourism, environmental justice, citizen journalism, creative problem solving, documentaries, ethical living, fair trade, good governance, international development, peak oil and veganism… To name only a few!
