Program Description – Tham Ma Pass Community Education & Tourism Project
This program combines community education, cultural exchange, and sustainable tourism development at Tham Ma Pass, Ha Giang.
What we expect from you:

Tourism Communication Practice: From 9:00 AM, take turns according to the volunteer schedule to support local children in practicing English communication with international tourists at Tham Ma Pass. This is an opportunity for children to build confidence and develop practical communication skills in a real tourism environment.

What you can expect from us:
You will work with Class On The Clouds and our local operating partner at Tham Ma Retreat. This is a community-based education initiative developed in coordination with the local authorities of Pho Bang Commune, aiming to equip children at Tham Ma Pass with practical English and tourism communication skills.
We provide a supportive environment where you can share your knowledge, connect with local communities, experience daily life in the mountains, and contribute to a more sustainable tourism model.
We value commitment, teamwork, cultural respect, and genuine community engagement more than perfect teaching experience.
Main Activities
Teach English while working alongside local and international volunteers
Help improve and maintain living/learning spaces

Join community and cultural activities with local families and communities.
As this teaching site is a collaborative effort between three parties—the local authorities, Tham Ma Retreat, and Class On the Clouds (which you represent)—volunteers must carefully balance various factors to ensure they deliver meaningful value to the community, guided by a strong sense of responsibility.
