Description
As a non-profit organization, Lotus' objective is also to give back to less fortunate members of our global community. Lotus' volunteer programs in Beijing and Tibet host a wide array of projects and community service initiatives, all of which prove to be valuable and fulfilling life experiences for our members. We find all those who volunteer with us, even if it is for just one day, walk away with impressions that last a lifetime.
We currently sponsor programs at senior centers and a migrant school in Beijing, as well as at an orphanage in the Tibetan region of Sichuan. We hope to continue to expand our capacity to support volunteers in China, an experience we know will be beneficial to those in need as well as those willing to help.
