Kiran worked in Jisha with CBIK in 2002, while she was doing her undergraduate thesis project researching the feasibility of passive solar architecture in the traditional, local architecture. She spent her time collecting weather data, researching the local architecture, and investigating daily energy needs. In addition to her research, Kiran helped with various projects related to the ecotourism program in Jisha, including the production of a short documentary, the website, and editing of reports.

My name is Han Han, a PhD student of ecology at , the State University of New Jersey. I was honored to be a volunteer of Jisha Ecotourism Project in CBIK in July, 2005. I worked for the tourism survey. Working for CBIK as a volunteer was my greatest experience. What I learn from this experience is far beyond things taught in class. I wish to work for CBIK again and look forward to developing such experience into my own career in China ''''s environmental protection. Feel free to contact me if you have any question:

Glad to receive an opportunity from CBIK that I can work as a volunteer (trainee) from July to October, 2005. During these 3 months, CBIK left a good expression on me. She let me know the tourism by sharp eyes. I had learnt more than just staying in the campus. Also, I had a chance to do some investigating of tourism model and writing the reports. Above of them,improve myself at a rapid clip.
