I absolutely loved volunteering here! I would recommend it to anyone. I felt welcomed from the moment I arrived because everyone is so kind and lovely. An is so helpful with any questions and helped us organise taxis too. All of the kids are lovely to teach and I quickly picked up the schedules of the lessons! Also I'm vegan and the kitchen always accommodated with extra tofu/ vegetables and the food was always delicious. If you're thinking about volunteering here, do it !! Thank you for everything An:))

I could only express what I have experienced and I know my review could never give justice to the what the real feeling and impact it had on me. This volunteer opportunity has instilled in me the core values of what an ideal community actually means. From the moment I arrived, I was welcomed warmly and little did I know it was just the beginning of something I would treasure forever. I made friends with the kids at school, An, our favorite honey & tea guys, and actually everyone in the village. This experience has been one of the most unforgettable in the entirety of my 4-month southeast trip

It was a very immersive experience! I learned so much about Vietnamese culture, the food, the traditions, the breathtaking nature. The story of how the village was founded is truly admirable and inspiring. It was a wonderful month, lifestyle is something to be admired, and I immediately felt like part of their big family. The children are the most beautiful part, I already miss each of them so much. Thank you An, for giving me this opportunity❤️ If you want to experience something true you have to come here!

I had a wonderful experience at the eco village Village! I felt welcomed and part of the community from the very start. The experience is truly immersive: during summer the kids live at the school, which means you're in contact with them 24/7, not just during class hours. At times it can get tiring, but in the end it's probably what made it so special! All of the kids are amazing (the kindergarten ones in particular are adorable), and also the other villagers are always eager to talk and connect with you. A special thank you to An for always being so helpful during the stay!
