LOCAL author and Beerwah Writers Group member, Hwa Rogers has published part one of her memoir, a trilogy set in mainland China during the early 2000’s.
‘A Volunteer’s Story’ takes the reader on a journey into two years of an English teacher’s life, in a rural university campus in Hunan Province. Hwa taught postgraduate students, preparing them for the Government set exams. If they passed successfully it meant they were qualified to travel overseas; a cherished wish.
Apart from her teaching life, Hwa spent her holidays travelling in China, staying in Buddhist monasteries wherever possible. A long term practitioner in the Chinese Buddhist tradition, she felt completely at home and attuned to these surroundings. The book is available from Amazon.com.au in both paperback and e-book editions. It can also be purchased directly for $30 hwarogers@gmail.com www.amazon.com.au/Volunteers-Story-Teaching-Travels-China/
