Description
Dear great friends,
We used to be a meditation center's free English-speaking club helping people to improve their English and a trustworthy address for every foreigner all over the world to come, experience, and stay in Vietnam.
Due to Covid 19 pandemic's difficulties, we had to close the center and now our family would like to invite volunteers to come to our small house.
We have one 3 years old son, one 8 years old daughter and one 13 years old daughter. You can stay and teach them English and Chinese, or music or handcraft. We are interested in language, music and art.
Besides our regular work, we volunteer and support some NON profit projects at my children's school and open some free English class/club for local people. Sometimes we do volunteering in meditation retreat or organize some for our friends and acquaintances. We can join with us if you want.
For some programs, we may collect some small fees from the locals to maintain the operation fee and offer free stays and food to foreign friends.
We try to keep our spirits of keeping precept, doing good, bringing benefits to all, and knowing and purifying minds through whatever we are doing.
