We help groups carry out a number of one off projects in and around Hue. The projects are designed to provide groups with a unique experience, by teaching them practical skills which are put to use to benefit children’s shelters and care institutions in the province. Our role is to find places that are in need of renovation or construction work, and organise everything for the groups. These projects are ideal for colleges, schools or groups of students, but also companies and other groups wanting to participate in team building exercises whilst doing something useful for the wider community!
What we provide
We work closely with partner groups before they arrive in Vietnam, providing them with…
- Detailed outline of the project proposed;
- Arrangement of basic accommodation and food (or resources to prepare food);
- Professional local workers to help train groups how to carry out their work;
- Support of our local staff and volunteers to help co-ordinate activities and translate;
- Permission and support from relevant local authorities in Vietnam.
What the group gets from the experience
The purpose of our group programs is also to ensure that the groups get…
- A unique experience of Vietnam and a genuine exposure to the way the people you work with live and work;
- A great opportunity for team building and character building skills and development;
- The chance to make a substantial impact on the quality of life in orphanages and other care institutions;
- A tailored solution to your group!
Want to know more?
To apply for this programme, or simply to learn more, just get in touch and we will discuss the options that we have currently available.
NOTE: Because of the time it takes to cover the administration to send volunteers to Vietnam, usually you will have to apply a minimum of two months before the proposed start date of your placement.
The potential projects are very diverse, and we will consider each one carefully. We cannot accommodate every group that applies, though we do our best.
Past Projects
Our Group Volunteer Programmes are designed to be fun and flexible. We match groups from schools, colleges and other organisation to projects that need support in central Vietnam.
