Description
Dear great volunteers,
We are located in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, and we are an open house for those who are in need and who are ready to give.
We are finding volunteers helping us to run an English speaking club. This club is open freely for everyone in Hochiminh citywho would like to improve their English language skills.
We need:
- A main teacher to lead a pronunciation session.
- And another teacher to guide our students with fun and open topics for group discussion. Each session topic will be decided by the teacher and the students.
Our students vary in age and statue from high school students to retired people and seasoned monks, nuns to young entrepreneurs.
It also doubles as a meditation Center. We are hosting classes for everyone centered around improving overall health and practicing necessary skills to balance the mind. All of our activities are provided free of charge.
