Q: What's your advice on giving stuff to orphanages?

  Me and the wife are getting ready to do our yearly Spring Festival orphanage run. We stock up on f***ing mountains of toys, basketballs, badminton racquets, toys, guitars, penny whistles, toys, toys and toys and drag them down to the local orphanage, the only problem is i'm always afraid some f*%$#ing arse-faced %#$@ nose, *&#@$% pecker, f%&#-head's going to pocket half or all of the stuff and sell it down the market. Doesn't stop us of course, we've been doing it for six years and we'll keep on doing it, but what would you suggest we do to gain some assurance that the stuff's actually going to reach the kids and we're not just lining the pocket of some f&%#$ing arse-faced %&#@ nose, %$@#* pecker, f%#$-head?

Maybe this is a lot of extra work/trouble/expense but you could have the items stamped in Chinese "Donated to orphans - not for retail"

 

Good on you and your wife.

  Actually we did that with a soprano saxophone. Got a permanent marker and wrote all over the thing. It's a good idea, i'd not thought of it.

But would it really stop the Chinese from buying it in a market? I think not. No morals. Good on you for donating though!

Bless you dear Martian, this is kind beyond words.

mArtiAn:

  Not in the least, I only do it to keep the missus happy, can't stand kids personally, horrible, smelly, sticky things.

  Haha, nahhh, I love it really, makes me feel like f***ing Santa Claus. (By which I mean, it makes me feel good.........it doesn't make me want to have sexual relations with Father Christmas. I don't want there to be any confusion about that).

A:You can still skin into China as a non-English native teacher by holding English Teaching license in your home country.2nd: Your BA degree should be completed in a native English country. Once, you fulfilled these 'parameters', you qualify for an English teaching job in China as a non-native English sneaker with Z - Entry/Working visa with Working and Residence permit later on. See the last 'Answers Highlight' ---> there is a web link posted about 'requirements for teaching English language in China as a non-English native passport holder'. https://www.gooverseas.com/blog/guide-teaching-english-china#paragraph-item-63614-target

*English proficiency: Passport from one of seven "native speaker" countries (US, UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, and South Africa). If you aren’t a native speaker, you’ll need to be a certified teacher in your home country with proof of your English proficiency (e.g. IELTS or TOEFL). I'd say, Chinese will choose and look especially for a native English speaker at teaching of English Literature job openings. Posted job adverts for English Literature teaching are most likely from International Schools in China. Good luck! -- icnif77
