There is no words really to describe what we experienced in this village, this journey definitely changed a part of myself in a good way ! This is a place where you want to grow up and be educated, the villagers will always be in my heart and I'll never forget each one of them. Teaching the kids was just everyday a part of pleasure, I never really felt like working, the food was of course amazing and the activities were all the time different which made every day so special ! Thank you for your generosity, kindness and authenticity. the eco village you really warmed my heart ! ❤️

In two words: unforgettable and authentic. These three weeks were filled with emotions. The children, the teens, and the adults are all full of love and kindness. It was more than teaching, it was a soul-to-soul exchange, a sharing of culture, joy, and love. Thank you for everything, I will come back for sure. Special thanks to An, Isabella, Thao, Hao, Hàng, Quynh, Đỗ, Ruby, Lan Pham, Bào, and all the kids and adults in the village. the eco village, you have my heart ❤️

Staying at the eco village Village was a privilege! Getting to know the traditional values of the Tay people of Vietnam, eat their food, participate in their activities and to feel welcome every day, even with the language barrier, was extraordinary. The kids are lovely and fun, they make everything better. As a volunteer, you become part of the life there and An is a great host. I got a room for myself and it was a must as a social media, because of my equipment and it was super accommodating. The hours are not steady but that's not a problem, you'll feel so relaxed. Thank You, I hope I'll see you

We felt so welcomed here — the whole community is like a big family, and we truly felt part of it. We were teaching English to small classes of 4–6 kids, never more than 4 hours a day plus prep (which took us some time since we had no prior experience) The food was tasty and healthy, mostly what they grow themselves. There was always rice, pork, and cabbage and sometimes there would be alternatives. Since it was summer break we lived at the school with the kids — simple facilities (bed on the floor and shared bathroom) but a wonderful chance to be close to them.

We felt so welcomed here—the whole community is like a big family, and we truly felt part of it. Both children and adults were so warm and caring, which made the experience unforgettable. We were teaching English to small classes of 4–6 kids, never more than 4 hours a day plus prep. The food was tasty and healthy, mostly what they grow themselves (always rice, pork, and cabbage, with more variety depending on the day). Since it was summer break, we lived at the school with the kids—simple facilities (mattress on the floor and shared bathroom) but a wonderful chance to be close to them.
