This was my second time here and I loved it! Mie, Sean and Quynh are as welcoming as ever and make sure you have a good time while helping the kids with spoken English.

My experience at the school Bavi was fab. The small team make you feel extremely welcome. The accommodation is modern and extremely comfortable, with access to a gym and lots of storage in the dorm. A day at the school starts off with a team meeting, marking, editing, creating worksheets in the morning, and classes in the evening. The kids are wonderful and FULL of energy. Making the teaching experience lots of fun. Bavi is the country side, so it's an amazing way to see more of Vietnam. You can really disconnect from life here, but also catch on things. Thank you for everything !!!

My experience at the school was wonderful and let me discover a truly authentic Vietnam. It's a private school for local children, and volunteers help create educational materials and support classes. The best part was the kids and the friendship with Sean, Mie, and Quynh, who work really hard and create a warm, welcoming environment that quickly makes you feel at home. The facilities are modern and comfortable, giving you space to rest and reset during your travels. I highly recommend this volunteer program for anyone seeking a local, meaningful, non-touristy experience.

I had an incredible experience here the school Vì. The team was so welcoming, being here felt like home away from home. We had various tasks during the day and classes in the evenings are so fun! The kids are wonderful— so curious, energetic, and friendly! I extended my stay because I loved it here so much. The house was clean and spacious, and meals were delicious! It's fun to explore around the school Vì! Bikes provided! Had such an authentic experience thanks to Sean and Mei! Learned how to make tofu, explored the school Vì mountain and got to chop down a banana tree. Miss you all 💗

I had the most amazing experience at BaVi the school. Sean and Mie were incredible hosts. Super welcoming, supportive and very kind. The house is lovely, it's very clean and cosy, we had everything we needed. Day to day tasks were varied. I'd also always look forward to class in the evening . The kids are so smart and very adorable. Learning about the Vietnamese culture outside of main tourist places was also a great experience and helped me very much for further travel. I couldn't recommend this world packers enough. It's very fulfilling. Thank you guys for a lovely 3 weeks :)
