Description
Volunteer with us and have a great cultural experience in our beautiful country, living for free in Danang. We are a local class established in October 2014 by myself, Mai. We provide students with practical life skills and focus on English learning.
We want students to have an opportunity to communicate with foreigners, as well as get a better job in the future. Most of them have graduated from Universities or Colleges but are unemployed. We need help from you.

Volunteering for practice or teaching English, cultural exchanges, local tourism and discovering beautiful Da Nang city in Vietnam. It would be our pleasure to teach you how to cook traditional Vietnamese food. It's delicious! We would love to learn about your country as well.
We focus on English communication by teaching and sharing skills from international volunteers. I would like volunteers to stay for a minimum of 2 days.

Eating: some Free meals are included. We prepare and eat meals together, clear up when we are finished, just like a family.
