I spent one month here and had a great time. Volunteering here is an excellent way to experience HCMC. Stayed at an apartment with all the teachers and Ms. My's sister in a local (not touristy) district and I felt right at home. Miss My is really sweet and all the students were really nice and excited to speak with me and learn English. Everyone… read more

Bill was an excellent host. He and his family were super friendly and inviting! My friend and I stayed only one night but would have stayed longer if we had the time. The tasks were very easy and fun and consisted of just playing games with a small group of people to help them practice their English. Thanks for everything Bill, hope to cross paths… read more

Dough and his friend - T.Y were amazing people. They stayed at my place just a night, but it was awesome. They helped my students to practice English by sharing with them about their own stories, playing games with them...
What a pity that I didn't have much time to spend with Dough and T.Y but it was a pleasure to meet them.
Hope to see you guys… read more

Doug was amazing and one of our best workawayers! He did everything we asked and then some. He took initiative and went above and beyond our expectations. He was very outgoing and was great with guests and made many local friends. I could go on and on but all i have to say is he is part of the family here now and is always welcome back and we'd… read more

I can honestly say that volunteering here was one of the best experiences of my life! Everything about it was great. There atmosphere and the people make it incredibly fun and comfortable. The owner Chris is the best boss one could ever ask for. (He comes into work so the volunteers can throw pool parties at his private house). The local manager… read more

Going to Tanzania and staying with Joseph doing this workaway was honestly one of the best things I've done in my life. I stayed for the month of July and it was my first trip to Africa and I had no idea what to expect but it completely surpassed anything I was hoping for. The volunteer work at the school was great and the kids are amazing! It… read more
