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.
We’d love to hear from English speaking volunteers who want to explore the land of Vietnam, have a great cultural experience and contribute to others through education. We'd love to accommodate you and show you how beautiful our city is! You will not go hungry by staying with with us. Our lovely students will guide you and help you explore beautiful Danang city for free. They're very hardworking and seize the chance of getting to practice their English.

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.

- Sleeping: As a volunteer, you will stay for free in our home, and be provided with your own private room. My husband Vuong, and I will make you feel very welcome! We share a passion to help students in financial need and provide facilities for those who wish to work on their English skills.
Laundry: Laundry facilities are near by (across the road and cost close to nothing!)
Eating: some Free meals are included. We prepare and eat meals together, clear up when we are finished, just like a family.
