📝 Detailed information
🏢 About the local organisation
Located in Hanoi and operating as a social school, Hoa
Sua School of Economics and Tourism has been
providing and steadily developing vocational training
for the disabled youth, minority ethnic students and
students living in poverty. The school offers them
financial support including food, accommodation and
school fee. This social school puts an emphasis on the
generation of opportunities for skill improvement of
students from 16 years old. The courses in different
durations allow many young people to learn specific
skills to help them get a job after graduating and pursue
their dreams in life. Due to the economic development
of Vietnam these days, the demand for qualified people
with English communication skills to work in tourism
services has sharply increased. Come to Vietnam,
bring students and staffs the opportunity to work with
foreigners to improve their English skills, especially
speaking skills. Besides this, the project also
contributes to enriching cultural values by cultural
exchanges.
💼 What the programme involves
The volunteers’ duty will be to improve the English communication skills of Hoa Sua School staff, Vietnamese teachers, and students. They will also be responsible for supporting the Public Relations and Marketing Department, particularly in sales and marketing activities (both online and offline) aimed at promoting the school’s services, including bakery and pastry products as well as items from the sewing and embroidery workshop, in order to contribute to maintaining the social policy in favor of priority students.
🏠 Accommodation on site
Volunteers will stay with a host family, in a homestay,
or in a hotel with basic living conditions. Meals are
served at the canteen and vegetarian catering is
possible.

📍 About the location
The project take place mainly in Hanoi, the thousand-year-old capital of Vietnam. It is a fascinating city where the vibrancy of modern life blends with the charm of a rich historical past, visible through its French colonial architecture, ancient temples, and the famous Old Quarter. Vietnam, located in Southeast Asia, is a country of breathtaking beauty, from the terraced rice fields in the north to the idyllic beaches in the south. However, despite rapid economic growth, the country faces significant challenges, particularly inequalities in access to education, making the work of volunteers all the more valuable.
🎒 Leisure activities
During their free time, volunteers will have numerous opportunities for exploration. In Hanoi, they can stroll around Hoan Kiem Lake, visit the Temple of Literature, attend a water puppet show, or wander through the lively streets of the Old Quarter. Weekends will also offer the chance to take excursions to other regions of the country.
They may, for example, embark on a cruise in Ha Long Bay, a UNESCO World Heritage site, explore Ninh Binh, often called the “terrestrial Ha Long Bay” for its spectacular karst landscapes, or go hiking in the mountains of Sapa and meet local ethnic minority communities.
⚠️ Requirements
Volunteers must have a laptop. They should be enthusiastic and optimistic, and ready to deal with differences. They should also be able to adapt to a new environment, a different culture, and a new lifestyle.
🤝 Meeting point
The meeting point is generally at Nội Bài International Airport (HAN) in Hanoi. A member of the local partner organization will be present on site to welcome the volunteers upon their arrival.
