About the project

Local Bookable – Create miracles with kids.

📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

Duong Lieu Library is the first non-profit and completely free private library in Hanoi. The library would like to create and encourage the habit of reading for children in the urban area, thus, Hung – the library founder believes that they must first let the children play. So, there were all kinds of games, from Rubik's Cube, wooden board games, Chinese chess, chess... Then gradually they guided the children to reading books. Along with exchange and sharing activities and book giving, the library connects with students so that young people can learn basic life skills and learn English communication directly taught by foreign volunteers. Students seem to be very interested in this model because it improves their communication ability significantly but is very attractive, completely different from studying in the classroom. 

💼 What the programme involves

Engaging international volunteers in different activities of the library helps them create a welcoming and inclusive space where children can learn, explore, and connect with the wider world, fostering a sense of curiosity, openness, and respect for cultural diversity.

Through engaging activities such as storytelling from around the world, language exchange programs, multicultural craft workshops, and cultural cooking classes, children have the opportunity to explore different cultures in a hands-on and interactive way. The volunteers also facilitate activities like pen pal programs, geography challenges, and community service projects with an international focus, encouraging children to develop communication skills, empathy, and a sense of global citizenship. By participating in this program, children not only gain knowledge about different cultures but also learn to appreciate and respect cultural diversity. Our volunteers are dedicated to creating a welcoming and inclusive environment where children can learn, grow, and connect with the wider world, fostering a sense of curiosity, openness, and respect for others.

🏠 Accommodation on site

Volunteers will stay with different local families with fully equipped toilets and bathrooms. However, we would like to ask everyone to respect and protect the environment by not wasting water and toilet paper. There might be no beds in the camp but mattresses, summer blankets and pillows are provided. Volunteers will help the local families prepare and cook food for themselves.
