Violet Ge – Blazing a GFF HELPS trail in Hainan

Violet Ge – Blazing a GFF HELPS trail in Hainan

In December last year, Violet Ge of Auckland University left for her birth place, Hainan, to pioneer a new GFF HELPS programme. With the school holidays approaching she was eager not to lose out on any time and so put forward a proposal to run a three-day Student Camp at Wulian School. She used her local connections to find where to host these activities, and managed to recruit a team of students to join her. Within no time they had their activity outlines for the three days and had created and translated professional GFF HELPS marketing materials and started a WeChat social media platform.

GFF Representative Violet Ge returned from New Zealand where she studied, to Hainan where she grew up, to build connections for GFF HELPS and identify potential projects.
