- Vietnam
About Program
Vietnam is one of the world's hot spots for tourists and gap year thrill seekers, with stunning ancient architecture, beautiful sceneries and amazing natural wonders, Vietnam is truly a destination worth exploring.
Volunteering in Vietnam will be based at the Friendship village interacting with war veterans and children living with the effects of Agent Orange.
As well as this there will be opportunities for activities and trips such as a city tour in Hanoi, HaLong Bay visit and overnight stay and also an overnight train to SaPa.
Consider your impact: Volunteering abroad can be a rewarding experience for both volunteers and local communities, and at Go Overseas, we believe all volunteers should have the resources to make informed decisions about the type of volunteer project they want to partake in. However, despite best intentions, some organizations offering placements in orphanages may unknowingly place children in danger. You can read about the potential dangers of orphanage volunteering here.
