For my first Worldpacker experience, this journey has set the bar incredibly high! I had the opportunity to immerse myself in Vietnamese culture and connect with locals. I stayed with the project, sharing meals and daily life with them. In addition to teaching English to young students, I got to play and hang out with the project two adorable kids at home (Oh, how I've missed Mark and Bean ❤️). It never felt like a task at all! I'm truly grateful to have been welcomed by such a warm and loving family. Thank you for the unforgettable experience, my friend Dung!

I had a great volunteering experience at the project in Vietnam. Teaching English to children aged 5 to 9 was rewarding and fun; their enthusiasm and curiosity made every lesson an absolute joy. The family was incredibly welcoming and kind, and the meals they prepared were simply delicious (I'm a foodie, so it was a real highlight!). This opportunity allowed me to contribute to the children's learning while immersing myself in the culture and daily life. The combination of teaching, connecting with the family, and experiencing the local community made it an unforgettable experience!

I spent an incredible month with the Dung family. The experience with the children was beautiful, sometimes complex, but also formative for me. I felt welcomed into the family and I felt loved. I recommend it to everyone.

Volunteering at the project place gave me many insights on how locals live and go. It's much different than home, but I'm happy I got exposed to a new world because it truly opened my eyes. The family was so welcoming and kind, flexible too. It's hard to not feel at home. Dung is like a second father to me

I enjoyed my time here teaching English. I have been able to see how Vietnamese people live and develop my skills in teaching. Although the classes could be challenging sometimes as the children were very excitable I could see myself improving and develop better connections with the children. I enjoyed staying in a local area however it is a shame to see how little volunteers there are since Covid so I would really encourage to come and help out because it is really needed.
