This project will be conducted in English.
■ English Skill Requirement ★★☆☆☆
This project will be conducted in English. Since it mainly involves caring for young children, a high level of English proficiency is not required. However, you should be able to communicate effectively in basic English as it will be the common language used with local staff and fellow international volunteers. While initial communication may feel awkward, maintaining a positive attitude will help you participate more quickly and enjoyably in the project. Engage actively with staff and friends, and work on building confidence in your English skills!

" I feel like I've returned fully charged with love after spending time with the children just like the project's name suggests.
Being recognized like this has boosted my confidence and self-esteem a lot, and I feel like I can live my life confidently from now on. Initially, I used to feel awkward and hesitant in unfamiliar situations, but now I confidently approach new volunteers, greet them, and enjoy playing and laughing with the children more often. When you first arrive, you might find it challenging to adjust, especially to the longer lunch breaks compared to what we're used to, but other international volunteers can help you make the most of that time according to your preferences, so keep that in mind "

A Word from the Local Agency Representative
I am Que, the person responsible for overseeing your experience. Alongside our local staff, I have been managing and coordinating multinational volunteers for a long time. My goal is to contribute to the development of the Hanoi community and steer it in a better direction. Before arriving in Vietnam, I strongly recommend that you prepare yourself mentally. Understanding and adapting to the Vietnamese way of life requires balancing reality with expectations. Above all, I encourage you to come with an open mind.
The volunteer accommodation is directly managed by the local organization conducting the project, serving as a space where volunteers from various nationalities stay together. It includes office facilities and ensures that local staff are available to assist whenever needed. The accommodation is located approximately a 30-minute bus ride from the project site. If necessary, the local organization provides transportation costs for travel between the accommodation and the project site, allowing volunteers to commute with project colleagues and making the journey more enjoyable.
The accommodation is located in a quiet neighborhood, with nearby cafes offering rich and sweet Vietnamese coffee and shops selling simple snacks, making it a pleasant place to unwind after activities and spend personal time.
