Had a fulfilling experience teaching the local hmong students, learning about their culture and language. Thank you so much Chua and So for your hospitality and warmth- you guys made it feel like home! Lots of walks, local food and waterfalls nearby. Perfect place to contribute to a non for profit orginisation whilst living among peaceful rice fields.

It was my first time ever volunteering and this experience was life changing. I found a loving family at the school through Chua & the other volunteers Max, Baptiste, Camille, Quentin & Marco. There were 2-3 two hour classes each day across different age groups. We had the flexibility of planning the lesson for each class. The schedule was consistently communicated ahead of time care of Chua. It's very heartwarming to teach the students because they really want to learn and become good tour guides in the future. I highly recommend the school for anyone who has a passion for helping others

It was such a great experience with Chua! The provided meals were always delicious and were always ready on time. I really loved the community, students, and other volunteers I got to bond with. It was such a fulfilling experience teaching these motivated students who want to learn english, to open more opportunities for them. I would definitely recommend staying at the school and supporting their organization!

Staying at the school's house at Ta Van Village was such a great experience. We taught English four hours a day- two hours in the morning and two in the evening (once a week we had three lessons a day). The students are amazing- they all want to learn and they work really hard for it (and they are so nice and fun). The other volunteers were so nice, we went hiking and traveling in Sapa and went to coffee houses together. I really recommend this volunteer, it was great.
