Staying with them was simply amazing! The entire experience was so special that it's impossible to describe with words! Every day was a happy day and It truly felt like home! Working with the kids at the center made me feel true happiness and after that, going back home where I could find the other volunteers, and Mr. Dung and his family felt very good! I will do everything that I can to go back again! Thank you very much for everything, I will never forget this amazing experience!

Overall I had a good experience. From the accommodation it takes about an hour by bus to get to the center of Hanoi, which made it only possible to explore on our days off. The positive of location is that you really get to see how the local people love in the village. Most of the students we taught were very young and we weren't given very much guidance on what to teach, so it at times it was challenging. Also I only stayed for one week, so I had to pay for the room each night and for $5, it would have been possible to get a hostel in the center of the city.

I think when the building that Mr Dung is constructing would be ready the project will be more organized and interesting. In our stay the house was a little messy and we didn't felt comfortable with the way they do things. The food was great and the family is very friendly. Unfortunately we we were not able to prepare the classes previously because the subjects were given 5 minutes before the class. If you are ok with this, you will enjoy your stay.

Live with Dung and his family was nice...they were good with us and very helpful when we needed. There is lack of organization to give the classes, I did what I could but sometimes I felt like I could do more and better. Dung has good intention, it was nice to make part of the project and help a little bit. They are building a new floor so the house was a little bit unorganized because of the construction, but is for the better in the future. The place is in the suburb so you can take a bus to the city, it is only 40 mins to get there. I am grateful for the experience!

If you want to have a real vietnamese experience dont think it twice and go to it!! The host is a very easy going person, his wife is a super sweet person who cooks delicious vietnamese food and his two kids are really cute. I taught kids from all ages or adults from wednesday to sunday it was very easy ad I really enjoyed it. We recieve a schedule previously so we know which hours and kids you will teach! Lastly i recommend you to go when constructiom is finished (really soon i guess) so that you will be able tobhave a more comfy stay!!

I had a very nice experience staying with this host, he and his family are very friendly and kind :) I did the volunteering program outside Hanoi and had different classes from kindergarden to teenagers which I really like it because I felt I had the complete experience of teaching and being creative in each group class. Also there were more volunteers from different countries which whom you can share on your free time. Generally, there is a good atmosphere in the house and the program! I def recomment it.

I spent four months at the community and I really liked it! The host is really nice and he took good care of me during my whole stay. What I like a lot about the project is that you have many options. I spent six weeks in Halong Bay, teaching at a language center and the rest of the time in Hanoi with the family, and there are even more options than these. I have to admit that the classes in Hanoi weren't as organized as expected them to be, but this way I learned to improvise and to be flexible. I really enjoyed staying with the host and his family and I would definitely recommend it!

I recommend this place 100%, I stayed here 3 weeks and I enjoyed every day, the work is ok, maybe they need a little bit more organisation, but you can deal with the classes. Dung is an excellent host, he is always pending of you. The food is really good and you can meet a lot of people. Teaching here was the best experience in my live.
