Most chinese kids have a computer. At least around here, they all seem to have ipads, macbooks, latest gadgets.
Giving a kid a old computer (assuming you didn't purchase a new computer for the kid) - how is that charity......
What is the going rate for teaching right now? I get forced to teach children of guanxi and I charge 250 RMB or teach for free. (For parents with useful guanxi, I teach for free)
