Volunteering Service with IVHQ

The collaboration of IVHQ with the green lion team in vietnam has been a very fruitful experience for me.

There was constant support from the IVHQ team and by the Green Lion Team.

The team in Vietnam was very friendly and the care given was super comfortable.

I was in Vietnam for a week, and every little things were taken care of.

We had a cultural vietnam class where we were taught about the use of currency, the best places to travel, the right flights to take incase you are looking for a domestic travel around the country(mostly useful for people staying for about 3-4 months).

There were basic language lessons given which helped us volunteers to do a basic conversation.

Mon to Fri the day is usually full packed depending on the kind of program, the duration of your stay and the experience you have had previously.

The volunteers come from around the world, so you get a window to the kind of people around the world.

The volunteers are super friendly,while literally becoming a part of a global group you develop friendships for life!

This is a great platform if you have never travelled solo. The weekends are generally free and you could move around the city, do hiking or just go partying. They help you with the best travel agents as well.

We had a karoake night and played games hence helping us volunteers to bond with each other and understand each other’s talents.

It was a very cherishable night !!

There was a curfew time in Vietnam which was 12:00am hence giving you enough time to move around the city and come back to the accomodation.

After you are done with the volunterring , you are generally free to do whatever you wish to do, allowing you to either enjoy your evenings or the mornings as per the timings of your volunteer program.

The volunteering is also not very stressfull and you have people who help you in getting the attention of the concerned people (in my case students! as I was in the English Teaching program) or help you with the technical stuff (usually for medical placement program).

I came back home with cherished memories and lots of Vietnamese soveneirs!! ;)

Hope you guys have a great experience !!

Happy Volunteering !!
