For the most part, the Changchun Friends website is not very active and has been superseded by the Tencent "Wechat" app by the local expat community. This website is maintained sporadically, people may still join and membership is still open, but if you are a spammer, stay away. The archived information here is still useful, but some may be out of date. There are plans to make it more useful for static information in the future. If anyone needs information about Changchun or China, you may post a message and it probably will get a response but not immediately.

Changchun Friends

a great way to get involved

Information

Beer for Books

Beers for Books is a really simple idea to raise money for childhood literacy in developing countries. Fun and generous people everywhere are having a blast with the idea while creating books for kids that have limited access to educational resources.

I have a series of events planned around the city (in my head) and really am looking for people to join me in suggesting ideas and locations of where we could just run something like a bbq(for example) in different locations.

The locations must be prepared to donate between 5-15rmb per beer bought, to the organisation which is called THE LIBRARY PROJECT. I can explain details later if needed.

So please, if you want to get involved and think you have some good ideas let me know. Or simply watch out for future events coming and support us...drink beer and help children in our area have a better education!!

Richard do you mind if I try to get Christine to be involved directly on the site? It could be a stronger support from their HQ. I'll buy 10 beers at your first event, be donated all to Richard Roman :)
