The stuff about China makes complete sense @MDT It is more of a back-up if other things do not fall into place for you. It could be a great opportunity if there is nothing else on the horizon for you.
I think you are extremely motivated and want to do something you see as not only worthwhile for yourself but for others and that is a wonderful trait to have. I look forward to you sharing how things pan out for you.
It certainly sounds like you had a very productive appointment yesterday so well done for taking your list of things you wanted to tslk about - that prior planning is something that is a skill also
