His itinerary for the next two weeks is packed and will include Hong Kong, Rural China, and Japan.
In a few hours Chip will be off on a plane to Hong Kong to meet up with Scouters from Hong Kong's Chai Wan District at the BP International Hotel. From there, they will travel to Shenzhen, China and then fly to Guizhou Province. There they will meet up with the Scouts Canada's Pacific Coast Council's Rover Crew and begin work in a small village nearby where villagers are unable to easily get drinking water due to a harsh winter that destroyed their water pipes.
Chip and many other caring scouters will be helping to restore their drinking water supply lines so that villagers don't have to hike up a mountain in order to retrieve drinking water.
It's doubtful that there will be internet access from that area, so stay tuned for updates when Chip and the PCC Rover Crew get back to Hong Kong.
Oh one more thing! Chip wants to thank everyone in British Columbia, Canada who helped support the Rovers in raising enough funds to get to China to provide aid.
When Chip told the story of the Chinese villagers to his friends 'the woggle buddies', they decided that they had to come along to help as well!
