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 2 years of an English teacher ‘s life, in a rural university campus in Hunan Province.
Recruited by Australian Volunteers International, 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 as well as monastic life.
‘A Volunteer’s Story’ is available from Amazon.com.au in both paperback and e-book editions. It can also be purchased directly from the author for $30.
