13 Chinese volunteers from the China Youth Overseas Service Program are spending one-year in the Seychelles as a sign of good will.

Not only are the volunteers aiding in developing talent on the island, they are also developing overseas friendships - and in turn, helping to develop the relationship between the Chinese and Seychellois.

CGTN Africa takes a look at how the island and its people have become a home away from home for those Chinese who are volunteering there.
