Fixer/interpreter needed for rural China

Hi all, in July I will be going to China to do a project on water distribution. This will be a photo story and I am in desperate need for a local person who not only knows their way around, but can communicate in a open and engaging manner with rural people, communicate essentials with me (accommodation/transport/meals) and is not fussy about the lack of some city comforts!

The area in question is Northern Hubei and Western Henan province and the area West of Zhengshou. The time is going to be for about 1-2 weeks in the middle end of July (flexible within a week or so).

If anyone has any ideas, advice or contacts please let me know.
Thank you

Dear Olli,
You can try to contact Lui Bowen, he’s on Ls and he’s a great assistant and have been working for several foreign media.
If he’s busy at that time sure he will find somebody for you.

All the Best

Thanks Rian, have sent him an email. If you have a phone for him, please let me know (or call him to advise him of my email). Many Thanks

If anyone else knows someone, specially if they have interest in water/enviroment, please let me know
