The 2 weeks I spent here were absolutely incredible and I would stay for months if I could!! The staff are so welcoming and enthusiastic and they truly make the experience! This was such a beautiful experience and I would recommend it to anyone who is looking to give back while also experiencing Vietnamese culture!

I spent a month here and it has become my home. I've never felt so welcome and integrated in a place before, they really look after you and appreciate you being there. You're part of everything from the very first second. It's a great project and the work is soo important! I've learnt so much. Even if it seems like a step out of your comfort zone, gor for it! It's the safest setting to try something new. I've tried to give as much as I can, but I feel like I've got even more back. You have plenty of time at the weekend to explore the organization, you get amazing food and stay in a comfortable house.

This was my first time taking part in international volunteering and I have to say that I am really glad that I decided to get involved. The experiences that I gained from Volunteer the organization was nothing like I would have imagined. I made so many new friends, got involved in the community and even got to play with the little kids! On weekends, we get free time so I went to the local markets, went to Ba Na Hills, and watched the Dragon show. The house was also very clean and cosy. Highly recommend this programme if you want to get involved in the community but also want to travel around the organization.

Volunteer the organization was one of the best experiences I have ever had. I felt incredibly safe and taken care of when there, and it was obvious how much our participation in the program benefits the population worked with.

The most amazing experience. The work is absolutely life changing, the kids and older people are so wonderful and sweet and I’m going to miss them all so much. And the staff at Volunteer Vietnam are friends for life, they are so welcoming and supportive and we spend all day joking with one another. And the volunteer house is absolutely beautiful. The food is insane too. I was only supposed to stay 2 weeks and ended up doubling my time here and I couldn’t be more happy that I did. I couldn’t recommend this program more. THANK U!

My stay with Volunteer Vietnam was incredible! As a volunteer you experience a variety of different social support programmes which means you gain alot of new skills, and you are always supported by the amazing staff! Throughout my time there we were looked after so well by the team, from our accommodation & food to gaining information about Da Nang.

Being able to make such a positive contribution to the community through volunteer Vietnam was a true highlight of my travels - I would recommend this experience to everyone !! Thank you to the team for all you do ❣️

I had the most amazing time at the Green House. I've never felt more welcomed in my life! Everyone that works for the organisation and in the house is incredibly kind, funny, and accommodating. The service they provide means so much to the community, and the work we do is rewarding, challenging and educational. I truly had such a wonderful 2,5 weeks and I will cherish this forever. The house is so comfortable and it feels like living with family. On top of everything, I've made friends for life! I couldn't recommend this enough.

My whole experience at the greenhouse was fantastic. Viet and his team are dedicated to make your time volunteering as comfortable and as enjoyable as possible. Nothing is too much trouble for them!
You get to interact and help a range of people from all over Da nang which is extremely rewarding. The staff at the charity are so helpful in making sure you feel comfortable in doing the volunteering, but also push you to try new things.
I would definitely recommend this experience to other travellers!

2 weeks just incredible. Thank you wholeheartedly for your investment! You do an exceptional job and I am very grateful to have been able to participate. Thank you with all my heart for taking care of the people at the social center, the schools, the school for possibilities, the orphanage. I hope to be able to come back so that I can share many more beautiful moments with you.
I won't forget you♥️
I advise volunteers a thousand times to come!

I had the most amazing two weeks volunteering in Da Nang. I can't recommend this experience enough, exceeded my expectations. Everyone involved in the organisation is so special and I cannot wait to go back.

Phoebe - United States
They went above and beyond to help me and accommodate me. They spent 1+ hours at the airport to help fix my visa and helped when I had an infection in my new piercing when they did not have to. They were so welcoming and the program is so organized and well built. The community outreach is absolutely amazing. I had the best time volunteering here and look forward to coming back sometime in the future.

Charley - United Kingdom
This programme is worth every penny. You work with many different people, and all are super grateful to be there with you. The girls that go to work with you are amazing, and helped with any issues present. Mr viet was an amazing leader that checked in on us often. I loved my time here

Lays Cristina - Brazil
I highly recommend this experience for who wants to make a difference! The program is full of different activities, they work with elderly and children and I had the chance to teach, play, take care and in all of these, I had funny and a very time! There is a lot of work to do, so make sure you want to live this experience. However they are very organised and everytinhg is follow by the schedule. The people that I had met are awesome, they really take care of you as a family member. Also, the Green House, the house for volunteers is amazing, they provide a very good meal as well.

Viet and his team are amazing. They made me feel at home and the Green House itself is very comfortable. They made sure I am well-fed with delicious Vietnamese food. Most importantly, the volunteering activities at the social support center has provided me with good insights about many aspects in life. Thanks Viet & diamond team, i will come back!

This experience was so lifechanging for me. I’ve never experienced something so meaningfull and I loved living amongst the locals and learning so much about the language and culture. It was incredible to work in an organisation like this: they’re doing something SO good for the people here and I admire everyone working here so much. The people here really feel like family and the house feels like a home. I can’t recommend this experience enough. I learnt so much during my time here and I can cry of happiness every moment when thinking back of all the memories I’ve made. 🥹❤️

It was my first volunteering and I couldn’t expect a better place to begin. Everything is amazing. First of all, every half-day we contribute to a different social cause . You work with orphans, children, students, elderly. You play or do exercise with them and always in a very good and joyful atmosphere. The staff felt like family for me. Everybody is so nice and we spent a lot of time together after the workday. Moreover, the work you do has a direct impact on people. It is very fulfilling. Thank you Volunteer Vietnam for the amazing work you are doing everyday!

The accommodation and the food is also excellent.
I highly recommend this experience. Thanks to all the staff who made me feel home since the first moment!

Working as a volunteer for a month at Volunteer Vietnam has given me everything I expected. The Volunteer Vietnam team excels in professionalism and enthusiasm and staying at the Greenhouse gives you an immediate home feeling. The activities we do together every week are varied and aimed at all kinds of groups of people who really need it and who deserve every form of support and attention. It is amazing how quickly you build a bond with the staff of Volunteer Vietnam, the fellow volunteers and the employees and residents of the social support center.

By coming into contact with so many different people, from young to old, as a volunteer, you learn that giving attention to these people is easy to do and you also learn where you can provide the most added value for them. In return, you receive so much love and joy from the residents, which automatically gives you energy to give attention again. This month has taught me that it is very good and nice to work as a volunteer, that you get a lot of love and fun in return, that you learn a lot from both the residents and the staff members of Volunteer Vietnam and that I will definitely come back as a volunteer.

I stayed here with my husband for 4 weeks. It was a warm welcome and the staff makes you feel at home right away. Nothing is too much and they help you with everything. The work is varied and together with the staff you can fill in activities. Your opinion counts and ideas were picked up immediately. You feel valuable here and you get so much back. The Greenhouse is equipped with all the comforts, the care is perfect and it is nice to come home here after volunteering.

We will definitely come back.

Volunteering with Volunteer Vietnam has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. Initially, I didn't have high expectations, but once I arrived, I quickly realized how wrong I was. From the start, it's clear that the team genuinely cares about the volunteers, as well as their work and the people they serve. They truly involve you in every aspect of the experience, and the longer you stay, the more fulfilling it becomes! I came expecting to teach children English, but when I learned more about the program, my excitement grew even more. I absolutely fell in love with every resident at the Social Support Centre and have no doubt that I’ll return. Overall, it's been the best experience I've ever had—thank you so much!

I can't thank everyone at Volunteer Vietnam for this amazing opportunity. It really became my second home in Vietnam! It is a once in a lifetime experience to be a part of such an important project helping the disadvantged people of Vietnam - from teaching english, to playing games with the elderly and hugging the babies. Every activity taught me so much
much. The accommodation and the food are VIP. The greenhouse is a great place to relax at the end of the day. I highly recommend this experience. Thank you Volunteer Vietnam. See you again😊

My time with Volunteer Vietnam Da Nang was nothing short of amazing. We worked at a variety of different sites and each day was something different and exciting. Many of the experiences are clearly socially impactful and humbling. Though my favorite part was teaching English to the local kindergarten, 4th grade, and 5th grade students.

Aside from the volunteer work, the staff of Volunteer Vietnam are phenomenal. They’re helpful, enthusiastic, caring, and a lot of fun. It feels like a family and they welcome volunteers with open arms. The accommodation is also top notch with great facilities.

We had an incredible experience for a week. Thank you to all our hosts for their welcome and good advice. We loved helping people in need. The greenhouse is a warm place where you feel good and where you have a good time. Thank you very much for these shared moments, we will be back!

The experience of volunteering itself was a great , i was guided into it which was nice as i had not done any volunteering before, i got a whole range of places to volunteer in like schools and social support centers which was a great learning experience, and all went smoothly and was planned really well. I would love to come back one day!

My experience in volunteer Vietnam was nothing short of amazing, the women who help run everything are so much fun and make you feel at home instantly. Viet is an incredible director and inspiration. When you enter the home it’s clear that you’re entering a family and when you leave you know you’ve got a permanent home in Vietnam when you return. I couldn’t have asked for better amenities, accomodation & food cooked by the lovely chef!!! If I could stay forever I would. :)

I spent two weeks volunteering with Volunteer Vietnam. This was one of the most extraordinary experiences I’ve had! This because the special contribution to the care for the most vulnarable en disadvantaged people of Da Nang. You will support the care for the adults and elderly in the Social Support Centre, who are disabled, homeless or don’t have a family to care for them anymore. There you will be organizing fun activities for them together with the staff of Volunteer Vietnam. You contribute to giving them a good day! I also learned from the local therapist how to support them in fysiotherapy and occupational therapy. One of the things I loved the most to get a moment with one of them and give them the support and attention they needed! You will also support in the care for children who are disabled or became orphans. One part of your job there will be giving them joy and attention, I loved it! Especially to get new insights and learning about the Vietnamese culture. 
Further will you be teaching English in kindergarten or primary school a few times a week. I loved how enthousiastic and eager to learn those kids are! You will be doing everything together with the staff of Volunteer Vietnam. They are speaking very good English and will helping you translate and explaining. And most important; they are so kind and we’ve had so much fun together and with the group of volunteers. They also made me feel at home when I arrived. I stayed in a beautiful guest house named ‘the Green House’. It’s designed with cozy common rooms, dorms of 4 persons or private rooms and western bathrooms. I’ve had also some free time after the volunteering shifts in the morning and afternoon. And we did some fun daytrips in the weekends with the other volunteers! 

I loved my time here and I gained so many new insights in the Vietnamese culture and learned a lot about the healthcare here. I would love to come back and be volunteering for a longer time!

Thanks to Volunteer Vietnam for the best care and support to make this an unforgetable experience!!
