The Experience

Hi everyone, I run a small homestay on the outskirts of Hanoi, and I’m looking for volunteers to join me. You’ll help take care of the garden, tidy up the homestay, and occasionally welcome guests. On top of that, you’ll get the chance to teach English to some local kids who live nearby. They speak English quite well and are a great way for you to connect with the local community and experience Vietnamese culture up close.

I've stayed with Anh and her Family. Looking after the youngest daughter Cherry was so much fun. The family is really Open-minded and friendly. They help you whenever you have a Problem. Had such a great month and definitively recommend Anh and her Family! ❤️

A great experience living with anh and her family. They were very welcoming, the house was comfortable and of high standards, the food they provided was amazing and the overall experience was wonderful. We helped look after their daughter cherry who was super playful and funny and also helped their older twins with English when needed. It was very enjoyable and we hope to return one day:)

Me and my partner volunteered with Anh and her family for 3 weeks. We had an amazing time, looking mainly after her daughter Cherry and helping out with small English groups with Anhs other children and pupils from the Local school. Cherry is the most adorable little girl ever, she has lots of energy to keep you busy but she will make you laugh non stop. Anh provides a private room and cooks 3 meals a day which are all amazing. I recommend this to anyone who enjoys Childcare/ teaching. The family since have moved house from the pictures advertised so there isn't an outdoor area as shown.

I could create lessons in any way that was engaging for the children. It was a joy to interact with them and I also got a glimpse of the student life here. From morning till noon, I was free to explore the attractions in Hanoi. I appreciated how flexible Anh was with the teaching schedule, when I wanted to catch the puppet show at night.

This was the second place I've volunteered at during my travels and without a doubt, it's been my favourite so far. Anh was so helpful, friendly, and welcoming from the very beginning. She put real care into planning our days with the kids and always made sure we felt comfortable and involved. What made this experience truly special was Anh's effort to give us an authentic taste of Vietnamese culture, especially through the food, which was absolutely delicious! I learned so much, felt part of a wonderful community and left with unforgettable memories :)
