Good luck, what a great opportunity. I think that you should weight the positives and negatives, your lucky you have a partner thats in this with you. I work with a lot of people who come from the USA to go volunteer or work in another country, a country that is politically turbulent, and when they get there, although they are filled with hope and promise their excitement dwindles fast when they realize the expectations the other countries organization has... All the work that has to be done, and on a volunteer basis sometimes gets to people.... SO I think what your partner and you should do before agrreeing to anything is get what you need to deliver written out.
Also the fundraising sounds great.
Good luck, China is amazing!
