Program Details

Join us in the beautiful village of Ta Van, Sapa, where we’re dedicated to empowering local children through education and cultural exchange.

As a volunteer, you will help teach children basic Vietnamese, English, and essential life skills in a fun and engaging way. Most of the children come from Hmong families, and many of them don’t have access to formal education. Your role is to encourage them to learn and grow, while also sharing your culture and experiences with them.

In exchange, we offer you a cozy homestay surrounded by rice terraces and bamboo forests, delicious home-cooked meals, and the chance to explore the stunning Sapa landscapes. You’ll also have the opportunity to learn about Hmong culture and participate in traditional activities like cooking classes, trekking tours, and more.

This program is perfect for volunteers who love working with children, are patient, and want to make a real difference in a small mountain community.
