This experience helps you get close to very nice and kind locals, the job is very easy, as you are only required to be part of some art crafts and activities. The location is incredible, very convenient for the old quarter... other volunteers are locals, so they are very friendly and can give you a lot of recommendations.

We spent 1 month working in Ha Noi, and we shared good times, we learned a lot about their customs. The job consists of serving the public in a recyclable crafts business in the central area of ​​Ha Noi, it is a light job that does not require physical effort. Some days the owner asked us to go to her house which was 5km away, where we had to clean her garden, it was not tiring at all, but we had to pay for the transport. The house she offered us was a room with a bathroom and had air conditioning, that was very good. We recommend planning the hours and days of work.

My experience here was very disappointing. The room was filthy, covered in dog hair, and took two days to clean, with no blankets or clean sheets provided. The program promised 20 hours/week but demanded 40, with only one day off. My concerns were ignored, and I often worked alone painting while others chatted. Even in my free time, the host persistently called to ask where I was. The “creative project” was industrial labor, and some photos in the listing were misleading. The conditions were unhealthy, unorganized, and lacked respect for volunteers. I do not recommend it.

Am so so sory when you came to there i had broke my leg, i cant came up to check your room beacause its in the rooftop nearly hoan kiem lake by some step every one to come like that.
I am an architect, not an amateur like you who paints for fun. Why do you think I will make industrial products in the exhibition? You entered the exhibition area of ​​​​our organization and never looked closely at the rags that were destroyed by the big storm Yagi in VIET NAM and never asked me what the meaning of each of those rags I created was and what this means for our lives. You do not need to want to understand what is in my mood! And I welcomed you very warmly from the cafe and the luxury vegetarian restaurant, I even spent the whole day taking you for a walk in my self-driving car with my still-healing leg, I was also wrong for not asking you back if you were satisfied or not?! But I am sincere with you and everyone! I do not compare more or less ... I am as warm as other volunteers! I hope you understand! And now the volunteers are more satisfied when they come. and i saw to talk to you about it if you want to go away for travel and day or for your work let me know i am always filling to agree to take a few off the days like that to fit 20 hours/week thank you and i hope you understand me! i will post pictures so you can feel safe and satisfied! i hope to see you again someday ❤️❤️❤️
thank you very much for this feedback to make my project more better day by day
