A truly worthwhile experience, especially if you want to escape the city for a while and immerse yourself in a very local culture. The town is small, peaceful, and charming. Mr. Thien is deeply committed to education, and it's an honor to be part of that process. Everyone takes great care of you, and the sleeping space was private and very comfortable. You also get to connect with the students and community in a meaningful way. The food was great, and beyond teaching English, everyone is eager to share their language, traditions, and history. An experience I would gladly repeat.

My time here was a great experience overall! Mr Thien is a lovely and very knowledgeable person, and a brilliant guide to the local area. He was helpful and kind in helping me book train tickets! Although I didn't do as much teaching as I would have liked, Mr Thien is working on providing more external opportunities for volunteers, so I would definitely recommend you come. All the students you meet are endearing, even if their English is lacking! Also, if you like Pickleball- look no further, Mr Thien is a great teammate! Whilst I was there I also got to meet some of Mr Thien's family too 🤍

This was my first volunteering experience and it was great!! Mr Thien is a super kind and caring person, he helped me with everything I needed, including booking bus and train tickets for me. He prepared activities with the students to historical sites and dinners with his family, he also took me to dinner to the nearest town and provided excellent accommodation, less than 100 metres from the the school. I would highly recommend this opportunity if you want to connect with local rural life and the the school students.
