Zha Duizhong (Tom)
My name is Tom and I'm Lisu minority. Before I came to ETTI I was doing construction work. ETTI helped me very much, additionally ETTI gave us impoverished kids employment opportunities. It gave us a good place in society.
After graduating from ETTI, I worked in a hotel as a waiter, worked at a gallery, and worked as an English guide. Now I work as an English-speaking tour guide.
The tourism industry is one of the pillars of the Diqing economy. I am a tour guide and plan to be a tour guide in five years. When my English is improved, I also want to be an English teacher so more people can speak English.
My heart goes out to the school and everything it gave to us. I hope ETTI can make more people in poverty learn more. Time and again I hope that ETTI can help more impoverished people like I was.
