Open to International Students
RUHE INTERNATIONAL CO., LTD.
RUHE INTERNATIONAL designs and runs cross-border learning programs out of Taiwan, working with university and community partners to bring students into real classrooms, clinics, and service settings instead of a tour bus.
Every program pairs a host institution with a small teaching team, so students come home with something they made, not just a stamp in a passport.

- 31 to 40 days before: 10%
- 21 to 30 days before: 20%

If the agency has already spent more than these amounts to perform the contract, the actual cost applies. The signed contract governs.
