BEAN @ Shanghai has been growing rapidly, and now, the cherry on top. It has been featured on the front cover of Shanghai Daily, the second mostly widely circulated English newspaper in China. Read the full article at http://www.shanghaidaily.com/sp/article/2009/200902/20090204/article_389740.htm .
Some of my favorite parts:
"BEAN works on the tenants of leadership, friendship and philanthropy and is focused on getting people involved in their community," Haynes says. "One of the things that makes BEAN different is that we are usually giving our time rather than donating money."

Volunteer Tammy Ku is an American business management consultant. She says the organization offers young professionals flexible volunteering options that can fit their busy schedules.
While she did college volunteer work in the United States and later as well when she worked in New York, Ku says it was difficult to find Shanghai organizations looking for volunteers and offering flexible arrangements.
"A lot of people can get swept up in working hard and meeting and hanging out with friends and may not know the best way to give back to the community," she says.
"BEAN allows people to pick and choose the volunteer work that best suits their busy schedules rather than being tied to just one organization."
