The Experience
Come teach English to H’mong children and adults in Lao Chai village, Sapa. Classes are three times a day (9-11am, 2-4pm, and 7-9pm), however you may choose which times best suit you as schedules are very flexible. I am looking for someone who is enthusiastic, patient, and passionate about educational equality. While short stays are great, I am currently looking for someone with longer availability so my students can have a bit more consistency.

Ha is one of the sweetest and most amazing people I have ever met. Her engagement with the local village and the people living there is truly admirable. The days we were there we got to teach English in a classic way (classroom setup) but we also had some guided treks with the students. We got to experience living in a proper homestay and were told about local traditions and the culture of H'Mong people. Overall a great experience I appreciate and I'm sorry that it was only a short stay.

I had an amazing experience with Ha. She is the most generous and kind person I have ever met. Her project is truly beautiful; helping her community learn English to have better jobs than just selling stuff on the streets. The students (teenagers and adults) are willing to learn fast, to support their families. They will invite you in their home, go trekking all around the village. You will stay in the Lao Chai Village, at 6km from Sapa, to have a unique experience. Thanks again Ha ❤️

La experiencia fue excepcional y exigente. Sentí que hice una contribución social importante para las niñas y mujeres de la etnia Hmong. En este voluntariado te sumerges completamente en la cultura local, viviendo en una casa tradicional Hmong, comiendo los alimentos de ellos, entendiendo su situación y experimentando por ti misma la realidad difícil que a veces enfrentan las mujeres Hmong. Ha, la host tiene una energía increible, te lleva de treking, te enseña de su cultura, cocina platos locales para ti y te contagia con su entusiasmo y compromiso social y se esfuerza por mejorar.
