I can see many poor people there.
By the way,I can go to Hubei every summer.As a Christian,I want to be a volunteer of the camp. May I go there? I want to send you an email to talk with you.
It is certainly possible. There were volunteers from churches in HK, London, Canada, USA at the camp.
Send me an email at stephen.c.chan@gmail.com and we can talk.
By the way, how did you find out about my blog?
