Real Needs

There are about 6000 Chinese white dolphins in the world. China is the largest habitat for Chinese white dolphins in the world, with about 4,000 to 5000. With the rapid expansion of the reclamation projects, the survival of the white dolphins is in danger. In order to protect the Chinese white dolphins, we can research the illegal construction projects that damage the white dolphins, and write formal professional advice letters to the government.

Program Highlights

Asdan and the environmental NGO CECA jointly initiated this volunteering project to prevent cases that have a serious impact on the ecological environment by exerting early ecological policy intervention focusing on China's coastal areas. Through regional influence, we aim to promote policy advocacy and increase the opportunity for the public to cooperate with the government on coastal planning issues. By December 2021, CECA had studied 396 planned projects to find out whether they met the regulations and whether they were harmful to the ecological environment. 252 problems reports have been sent to developers and related departments and as a result, 77 harmful cases have been directly stopped. Based on research reports and case summaries, members of the CECA submit 17 suggestion proposals to the National People's Congress. Volunteers will receive the guidance of full-time NGO workers and university experts throughout the whole project process to complete high-quality volunteer service activities.

Significance

"Volunteering + Research", exclusively designed by ASDAN China, is an academic growth model that combines research-oriented learning and voluntary service. We refer to the authoritative theory of education, admission requirements of universities, 10 years of project experience, and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals to design our programs. ASDAN "Volunteering + Research" Programs cover four categories: Teach for Rural Areas, Community Support, Wildlife & Environment Conservation, and Cultural Heritage Conservation. Volunteers will experience rich and unique service scenarios and learn from different topics of research workshops concerning real social problems. We aim to guide volunteers to discover problems, propose solutions and report to the public, improve volunteers' research learning ability, meet the requirements of volunteers' personal growth and further education, and enhance their sense of social responsibility.

When it comes to voluntary services, admission officers of universities think highly of sincerely caring about society and comprehensive qualities and skills, such as proposers of innovative solutions, leaders of public welfare projects, and the continuity and depth of voluntary services. 62.1% of colleges would like to see applicants show a record report reflecting the whole process of volunteering. The world's top universities emphasize community commitment with problem-solving ability. Every high school student needs volunteering service experience that combines public welfare emotion and social problem-solving ability.
