I had an amazing experience with C4C! Everything is so well-organized, and their strategy makes the whole process seamless. The host allocation is top-tier, I was matched with the most incredible, friendly, and supportive host. I never had any problems, and I never felt alone. The team is always there for you, making sure you have the best experience. I'd recommend this to anyone, and I'd absolutely do it again!

Overall I liked the idea of teaching kids at an English learning Kindergarten. There were two locations and one of the possible ones was definitely in a way nicer environment which I would have preferred to stay in but the other one was fine too. The kids were at most times super enthusiastic and engaging. I had some difficulties with the school manager (I have never met the actual host) but C4C was quite helpful with resolving the issues and I am very grateful for all the coordinators :)

I appreciate C4C for its consistent efforts to keep tabs on me. I am also grateful that they host both online and in-person events to help connect volunteers and to also provide a sense of community for us. As for my host school, I will always fondly remember my time with everyone there, especially the children I worked with. Everyone, particularly the school manager, did their best to welcome me during my stay. I formed precious connections, gained invaluable teaching experience, and learned that communication is vital so that some misunderstandings or inconveniences can be avoided.

My the organization journey was a life changing experience, It was my first travel being alone without my family so It helped me to really get out from my comfort zone , met other volunteers around the world with different cultures. I learned here to communicate when you don't like something or when it's not what you expected, I learned to say No when you have to say it,to set boundaries with your host about working times&privacy. Thank you C4C for supporting me a lot whenever I have a concern and always make fair solutions, I recommend to choose this experience, enjoy the moment and go with the flow

Second time in HCM and I am so sad to have left, my experience teaching my kindergarten students and living and working with my host family has been fabulous, I love them more than I could have imagined I know truly have a second family in the organization, I wish I could stay longer with them but I will be back.
