We felt so welcomed here — the whole community is like a big family, and we truly felt part of it. We were teaching English to small classes of 4–6 kids, never more than 4 hours a day plus prep (which took us some time since we had no prior experience) The food was tasty and healthy, mostly what they grow themselves. There was always rice, pork, and cabbage and sometimes there would be alternatives. Since it was summer break we lived at the school with the kids — simple facilities (bed on the floor and shared bathroom) but a wonderful chance to be close to them.

We felt so welcomed here—the whole community is like a big family, and we truly felt part of it. Both children and adults were so warm and caring, which made the experience unforgettable. We were teaching English to small classes of 4–6 kids, never more than 4 hours a day plus prep. The food was tasty and healthy, mostly what they grow themselves (always rice, pork, and cabbage, with more variety depending on the day). Since it was summer break, we lived at the school with the kids—simple facilities (mattress on the floor and shared bathroom) but a wonderful chance to be close to them.

My experience at the eco village Village was absolutely excellent! The community is incredibly warm and welcoming, and I felt at home from the very first day. The kids are sweet, fun, and full of energy – spending time with them was a joy. The food was delicious and healthy, and I really enjoyed sharing meals with everyone. The whole atmosphere is peaceful, authentic, and full of kindness. I truly loved everything about this place and feel so grateful for the time I spent here. Highly recommended!

I absolutely loved volunteering here! I would recommend it to anyone. I felt welcomed from the moment I arrived because everyone is so kind and lovely. An is so helpful with any questions and helped us organise taxis too. All of the kids are lovely to teach and I quickly picked up the schedules of the lessons! Also I'm vegan and the kitchen always accommodated with extra tofu/ vegetables and the food was always delicious. If you're thinking about volunteering here, do it !! Thank you for everything An:))
