  It was my great pleasure volunteered for the GZ Asian Youth Camp as a member of Guangzhou Ledao Company, the Sponsor of the Youth Camp. The campers are from different Asian countries. They can still communicate well with the help of our photo sticker machine. I will never forget the days spent with those energetic and lovely youth campers.
