Our Free Summer English & Life Skills Program runs from June 16th to August 20th, 2026, targeting local children in Buôn Ma Thuột. As a Summer Mentor, you are a vital part of this educational mission. We expect proactive, independent, and loving individuals who are ready to inspire young minds. In return, you will experience a deep immersion into a mindful, family-like environment, local community connection, and a chance to practice sustainable living at RE Banme Sanctuary.
A typical day starts at 7:30 AM with our signature greeting: 'Morning! Fresh start, big goals, and even bigger smiles. Let's go!' Volunteers work 24 hours per week (4-5 hours/day, 5 days/week). Your main tasks include leading morning English garden classes and creative life skills workshops. You will also spend a brief time supporting community living (helping tidy the dorm and prep light breakfast). Lunch and dinner are self-catered, giving you time to explore local food or focus on your own projects.
- Respect the 'Body is a Temple' philosophy: Absolutely no alcohol, smoking, or illegal substances on the premises to maintain a healthy environment for the children.
- Mindful Silence: We maintain quiet hours after 10:00 PM to support restorative sleep and mindfulness.
- Mutual Respect: Show high responsibility, punctuality, and a loving attitude toward the local children and community.
