Description
Hello, I'm Thuy (Jolie), and I live with my parents in Hai Duong province, Vietnam.
At the moment, I'm starting my own project. Our Most Ambitious, Comprehensive, and Core Goals:
1. Empowering Children's Creativity and Education:
Our primary mission is to create an inspiring space dedicated to the education and creative development of children. Here, kids will have the freedom to explore artistic expression, engage in music and games, learn new skills, and enhance their language abilities—all within an environment that encourages curiosity and innovation.
2. A Hub That Blends Business and Experience:
Complementing this educational focus, we are also building a dynamic venue that combines a refreshment business with immersive tourism experiences. This integrated model not only supports the creative space but also fosters community engagement and provides a platform for experiential learning.
3. A Serene Garden Retreat:
In addition, our vision includes a beautiful garden filled with plants, flowers, and fruit trees, alongside a quaint guesthouse. This tranquil setting offers a relaxing retreat for visitors, further enhancing the overall experience and serving as a natural extension of our educational environment.
4. Bringing Global Culture to Schools:
Organizing events that connect young students and teachers with diverse cultural experiences.
Currently, we are in the process of setting everything up for this innovative project. We are seeking passionate volunteers who are eager to contribute to a transformative space that champions education, creativity, and community involvement. Regardless of your specific talents, a readiness to engage in hands-on work is essential.
We invite you to join us in building a vibrant, multi-functional space where children can thrive and our community can come together to learn, grow, and enjoy new experiences. Above all, what we're doing is to MAKE A POSITIVE DIFFERENCE. Are you ready to be a REAL CHANGE-MAKERS?!
Come and join us!
Many thanks!
Thuy (Jolie)

Hébergement
- Accommodation: Provided with comfortable accommodation with an AC, a table, a lamp, 2 mattresses, a guitar, a keyboard, an ukulele, etc. You can share the big room upstairs with other volunteers (if any). I teach my classes downstairs in the daytime.
- Note: The place has some noise as it’s near the road, so please bring earplugs with you if needed.
- Meals:
* From June to August, I have free time to go to the market and prepare meals with the volunteers. There are always fresh fruits and vegetables for vegans and vegetarians.
* The other months: Volunteers are responsible for their own food arrangements. There is a kitchen and you can cook for yourselves. We also have a list of restaurants (not expensive, but yum) that provide good meals in the area.
* As asking for 2 hours of help per day, the food is not free, but the accommodation is provided for free, as a part of an exchange. It would be kind and generous of you for a food contribution, it is optional. Volunteers should be able to buy and prepare their own meals, if you wish.
* In case volunteers work for 5 hours per day (depending on the workload), food and accommodations are completely free.
