I absolutely loved the students at Our Story center! We worked about 10-15 hours per week teaching, then some extra hours making lesson plans. Every weekday we ate lunch and dinner together with the staff, which was always delicious!! However, on the weekends we did not get meals and were actually locked out of the house from 9am to 10pm every Saturday and Sunday. This was communicated to us last minute, so it was quite unexpected. We also had to be home by 11pm every night during our stay, or else we're locked out. Besides this, it was a good experience & so fun teaching such sweet kids!

Was a good experience. Worked with various groups of students: one with severe the project disabilities, neurotypical children ages 7-12, and adults. You get a schedule for the week on Sunday nights. Loved working with the students. Especially our Friday excursions! The program is very informal and go with the flow. On weekends they expect you to be gone mostly from 9am-10pm. Only workers of the center have keys to the place and if they leave, you need to leave to leave also or get locked in. (Our first week we were notified about this abruptly and had to leave the building on the spot)

This experience was great to be immersed in local life in Hanoi! The host family and employees made me feel so welcomed and at home. I felt really supported when it came to lesson planning and any questions I had.

Salut Katie,
Je voudrais te remercier énormément pour ton aide.
C’est super avec
les leçons que tu as enseignées dans notre maison.
, nous avons été impressionnés par ton enseignement car tu es travailleuse, enthousiaste et accueillante.
Tous les étudiants parlent encore de toi comme d’une excellente professeure.
Tu ne t’es jamais refusé à aider lorsque nous avons eu des difficultés.
Encore une fois, merci beaucoup d’avoir fait du bénévolat avec nous. Nous avons des souvenirs incroyables que nous n’oublierons jamais et nous te accueillerons toujours à ton retour.

I had a lot of fun during this experience. I enjoyed having a lot of responsibility in the classes. It was a challenge for an unexperienced teacher, but a fun one! Ms. Thu is a kind and cool person, and so are the other staff and family members. Us volunteers spent the weekends hanging out with other Vietnamese volunteers and students, which was a great way of experiencing the local culture. The only thing that caused me some discomfort was the difficulty in communication. I stumbled in the first class not knowing I was the main teacher and should have prepared something, which was stressful.

The program director, Ms. Thu, is one of the most kind and beautiful person that I met in my life. The job that she and her stuff is doing over there is amazing. I highly recommend this place. You will learn a lot with everybody and they will be so nice and kind with you. Thank you for everything Old Story Center!!!

The host is very welcoming and everyone really treat you in a kind way. The bed and bathroom are ok (if you're not difficult). The student are also so sweat. I would very recommend to try to learn some basic Vietnamese word before going there to help to teach them so that you can speak a little bit with them. For the class, I thought it was missing a bit of organization, especially since it's with autistic student. Also, most intervention with the student aren't done in a calm way (I didn't approve this method of intervention and that's why I left 1 week early; 3 week instead of 4).

Merci pour cette expérience. Avec un pays en développement et une organisation caritative qui n'a pas sollicité de dons comme nous, tout est parfait. Merci pour vos commentaires, mais comme vous êtes inexpérimenté et que vous vous y connaissez en autisme, vous le jugerez comme pas bon lorsque nous demanderons verbalement aux étudiants de se calmer. Je comprends et je suis très triste d'avoir à expliquer, pour que vous soyez témoin et que vous ayez compris, mais en réalité vous ne comprenez pas. Et surtout, vous partez pour votre voyage, pas pour cela. Je suis très triste que vous ne nous ayez pas payés comme nous nous étions enregistrés auprès de l'organisation. C'est peu professionnel et vous essayez aussi de l'éviter. Merci !
