📝 Detailed information
🏢 About the local organisation
School support program is a project coordinated by VPV and our local partner, New Horizons Center, in Quoc Oai, Hanoi.
Quoc Oai is a small town in the west of Hanoi. It is about 40km from the center of Hanoi. There are not so many foreigners in this area so the children and students here do not have many chances to interact with foreigners.
Main Aims and Activities
The program aims at creating an English speaking environment for local students and teachers at several local schools and at New Horizons Center to jointly improve the quality of English learning and teaching in Quoc Oai.
💼 What the programme involves
* Assist in English teaching at some local schools
Volunteers will help teach English at some local schools, mostly primary schools (with students aging from 6 to 10) and secondary schools (with students aging from 11 to 15).
* Assist in English teaching at New Horizons Center
Volunteers sometimes are asked to help with some English classes at New Horizons Center for students from disadvantaged backgrounds. Volunteers can also join in some other activities (sport or cultural events) organized by New Horizons.
Volunteers travel to work by bicycle or on foot.
🏠 Accommodation on site
Depending on the number of volunteers at a time, volunteers will stay collectively in a small volunteer house or with a local family in Quoc Oai. The house is equipped with simple living conditions. Volunteers will sleep on bunk-beds, separated by genders. Hot water is available in winter time and fans are available in summer time.
Food will be arranged by VPV, or volunteers can cook by themselves with provided cooking facilities. Volunteers will need to help with cleaning their own didshes after meals.
