China In Africa: China to send 100 youth volunteers to Africa

Because of the number of articles relating to China's wooing of Africa, I thought it deserved a category of its own!China is to send at least 100 youth volunteers to Africa this year as part of its commitment to foster ties with countries on the continent, China Daily reported.

It quoted director of the volunteer department of Central Committee of the Communist Youth League of China (CYLC) Wang Xuefeng as saying "We are now in discussion with many African countries."

Xuefeng added that the volunteers are going to serve in many sectors and that the volunteering spirit has spread among the Chinese people in recent years, especially among young people.
Chinese citizens between the age of 20 and 35 with a college diploma and above can apply for a volunteer post overseas, the Daily stated.
