My time at the school was short but incredibly sweet. Mie, Sean, and Quynh are doing amazing work with the children, who are all so respectful and eager to learn. Their home is beautiful, and they go out of their way to make you feel like part of the team/family. They work very hard and things can be busy at the moment, so be up for going with the flow. I 100% recommend this opportunity, it's truly memorable & meaningful. Thank you for having me!

Everything here has been wonderful. Firstly, spending time with Sean, Mie, Quynh, Van, and Tran felt like being with both friends and family. We've shared our stories and values, and even though they're busy, they took time to show me the local food and culture. While talking with them, I truly believe they genuinely want to contribute to helping the local kids learn English. The children here were also very friendly and eager to interact with me. As I shared about my country's culture, they actively engaged. Although I've been here for less than a month, I've gained so much!

My stay the school was nothing short of perfect. Sean, Mie and Quynh made me feel so welcomed from the moment I entered the house. The home you stay in is beautiful and is a really cozy environment to work and live in. They really care about the work they put in to benefit these children and it is beautiful to be apart of the team and see the impact. Saying goodbye to all the kids was the hardest part. the school is beautiful and you really get to experience all parts of local Vietnamese culture. This was my first WorldPackers experience and it has set the bar SO HIGH! I hope to be back soon :)

I absolutely would recommend this experience! What a lovely team that run the school, and the students are sweet and want to learn. The house itself is unreal and it is in a lovely part of rural Vietnam where all the locals wave and the kids say hi! Thank you so much for having me, I had a great time and gained some experience teaching and learning from others 🥰
