Our former volunteers usually come back!
We are so happy when most of the people who are volunteering with us are coming back. Most of the time, because they miss their students, they miss the place where they could feel like home or for other thousands of reasons (I'm sure that one of them might be the great food our cook cooks every day). The reason doesn't matter in the end, we are happy that we can see them again!
Meet Rachel, our former volunteer from England. This amazing lady is such a treasure for all of us. We could learn a lot from her as well as we know that we could teach her something new on her way. She was teaching adult communication classes as well as kids classes and all the students fell in love with her, with her positive attitude, with her amazing teaching skills, with her soul! She was staying with us for a long time and we missed her since the day she left. It didn't take so long and she is back, back in Vietnam, back home!
WELCOME BACK HOME RACHEL!🇻🇳️❤️😍

Post of a day! The weekend is over and it was a great weekend! What did we do?
We don't just teach together, we also have fun! This time it was a good combination of fun, help, and giving.
This weekend, we went to Dioxin village that is situated just a few km from Hai Phong on the way to Do Son beach. The story of this place is very sad and even though the war is already over, the chemicals still have bad affection for all the people living around and not just them. The chemicals are attached to the human genes for many generations. Many people who are affected by the gen disease are living in the village that we visited this weekend. We helped them to clean the place, we played with them, we talked a lot, and we also brought some food❤️❤️
There is never enough love in this world! Let's do something good together, let's change the world a little bit because every small step counts! 💪
It was great, we had a great time and we are sure that all of us enjoyed the time, even though it was very hard to see it at some point. It wasn't last time here, we will see you soon :)

This is who we are! We are not just teachers, we are family, we are friends and we LOVE kids!! WE ARE BIG HERO!
Sarah, amazing girl from the US enjoyed her stay, enjoyed classes with kids as well as dinners with her adult classes. There is nothing better than being part of the community where you live in. Our students love their teachers so really often you will invite you home to have a family dinner, spend an afternoon with them or being a part of some celebration!
Thank you, Sarah, for being part of our family! You are always welcome back, back in Vietnam, back in Hai Phong, back HOME!
Your students miss you already :-*
