Thank you the school for helping me to create some beautiful memories! The children bring so much joy and laughter into the days here! All of them are full of personality and it was lovely to join there classes 😊 I felt comfortable and settled whilst staying in the space. This was a very nice way to experience Vietnam & I am very grateful to the team for accommodating me ❤️

This was a wonderful opportunity to explore Hanoi while teaching English. This was our first WorldPackers experience and the host did everything to ensure we were comfortable and onboarded. Our favorite part was the amazing children. They are full of personality and smart! We did end up leaving to get a hotel due to a safety concern with the accommodations. The on-site manager was open to moving us to a different room but the host ended up ending our commitment early. Nonetheless, it was so fun and we are so the school we had the opportunity to do it.

I had such an amazing experience at the school! The kids are adorable and so fun to play with and teach. The staff are great too, they are very nice and help you with everything you need. The break in the middle of the day after lunch is perfect for going and exploring Hanoi, and the weekends provide great opportunities to explore outside the city into the amazing nature of Vietnam!

If you come in the summer be prepared to be placed at her summer camp instead. This effectively means staying at their house in the rural outskirts of Hanoi with no ability to travel into the city, kids are there 24/7, you share a room with the other volunteers or with camp kids, and you're expected to work hours in the morning, afternoon, and nighttime. This host has a continuous loop of volunteers at her house and businesses which results in many volunteers getting little to no welcome and a general feeling of being used for the host's financial gain.

Firstly, this is the job in my house, not for kindergarten, so 1* for this account is not fair, you know it Mei.
Secondly, the summer camp is just for 10 children, friends of my twin from school, with 4 - 5 volunteers staying to help. You just have to help 2 hours in the morning and 1 hour in the afternoon - is it too much for you? We charge money from parents just enough for foods, accommodation, renting cooker and cleaner, and free Ninh Binh or Halong bay tours at the end of each 2 weeks for you and the other volunteers. It's not a business camp. Seriously, I don't understand why are you so toxic to us after whatever we did for you. Sorry that you can't feel our friendly and warmly welcome, but we thought you like us till the moment we realize you disappeared.
Your skills are good, but I am so disappointed with your behaviors.

The children are lovely and eager to chat and play with you. We volunteered for a week which was long enough, we were a pair and struggled to fill our free time. We wouldn't recommend doing this on your own. We are both teachers so went into it feeling confident however there is a lack of communication and support. We were asked to 'teach' for up to 2 hours with no resources, planning, activities or support. There is no offer of 3 meals a day, you get offered 2 meals which is what the children eat and the host asked us to her house 2 nights. We also felt isolated and unwanted by the teachers

Thanks Amy for your respond. Your suggestions will help us to improve our team in the future to become a better host. Although you just stayed for a week, and on that week we were so busy with inspection in kindergarten, that was the reason we haven't had enough time to understand each other, but you did a really good job here and we really like that. Good luck to you with your travelling.
