Community & Teaching Volunteer Program in Southern Vietnam

What is the Community Volunteering and Teaching in Southern Vietnam project all about?

Bring your caring and sharing approach to life and participate in community volunteering in Southern Vietnam and help local centres with the care and activities supporting infant children and orphaned children as well as  children who are HIV+ and children who have disabilities. The centres look after vulnerable kids in a daycare centre and residential capacity. Help is always needed to give the residents and visitors more one-on-one care. Individual attention is vital to improve the well-being of the people which is why the projects are seeking the inputs of volunteers. These groups of vulnerable children are welcome at the centres and not only do they receive meals and basic care, but they also participate in activities to make their time enjoyable. Come and volunteer with Kaya at one of these centres and bring extra support to the local staff with essential services provided to the communities.

Why choose this Community Volunteering & Teaching project?

• Gain an incredible insight into how the welfare of vulnerable members of Vietnamese society is addressed and be a part of that process.
• Give an extra hand to the local centres that help vulnerable children in desperate need for help, and make the beneficiaries experience a little more fun.
• Gain an international network of friends and grow personally through your experiences on the project and during your time in Vietnam, all that while building experience for your CV/Resume.

Role of the Teaching & Community Volunteer

Volunteers will be supporting the overstretched local staff in their duties. Volunteers can choose to focus on one of the following community projects:  

• Infant Children and Orphaned Children – engage teaching activities such as teaching English, Math, Computers / IT and creative subjects, music Lessons and practice (if you play an instrument), sports instructions or help with homework.
• Children who are HIV+ – support this daycare centre and children’s home while caring for children who are HIV+ through assisting teachers, helping at meal times, helping with sensory development activities, teaching the children songs, games and activities and assisting with homework.
• Children with disabilities – at this centre, the children have mental and physical disabilities and you can get involved by helping with daily care, assisting with mealtimes and trips to the bathroom, running activities such as arts and games and generally helping the children with their mobility

Volunteers should bring a positive attitude and help where needed on these placements.
