Eimear- Ireland 

I had the best time volunteering here. I met lovely people - both volunteers and staff. I really enjoyed the variety of activities. The accommodation is excellent, the food is so tasty, everyone is so welcoming, kind and helpful. I learned so much here, I would really recommend this volunteer experience to anyone. I hope to come back some day!

 

Abigail - United States

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!

Josie - United Kingdom

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 ❣️

 

Marinda- Netherlands

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.

Libby- United Kingdom

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!

Laure- France

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!

It’s truly an extraordinary experience. We met some great people and we are very happy with them. A real pleasure to participate in this mission. Everything is perfect !

Mateo- Belgium

I loved working with the team! From the minute i arrived i felt very welcomed, the staff of greenhouse are very friendly and great fun to be around! The stay was very comfortable and sanitary, truly felt at home , i was given 3 fantastic meals everyday. 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!

Julianna- Belgium

Margaret - Australia

I’m a retired Australian nurse who has been volunteering with Volunteer Vietnam for 5 years, usually on 4-week stays, sometimes multiple times a year. I’ve assisted with physiotherapy and occupational therapy for the elderly and disabled, and taught conversational English to children and adults. The staff are supportive, friendly, and help organize outings and activities. Accommodation is comfortable, meals are delicious and homey, and the whole experience is rewarding and enriching. I highly recommend volunteering with this organization.

 

Leslie - Canada 

Volunteers with VV participate in all of their programs – teaching English in kindergarten and primary schools, working with the elderly and disabled which includes rehabilitation therapy and playing with babies and children in orphanages. You do not choose one program, you work in all the programs during the week. Note that I am also the Canadian/American representative for Volunteer Vietnam. I help them develop their English teaching programs and English lesson plans and assist them in finding partners in Canada and the US.

 

 


 

 

 

Kristin - The USA

The hosts made me feel so welcomed and included from day one! Everyone was kind and supportive. The work they do is truly admirable—you can see how much joy they bring to the people we serve. It was such a humbling experience, and I’ll be forever grateful.

Isabel - Netherlands

This was such a wonderful experience. The team is lovely and takes good care of you as a volunteer. The work is not hard or difficult and it brought always a smile on my face. Everyday is a different day and that makes it really fun. Came as a stranger but left knowing that I have a second family and home :)
Little side note: with the volunteering you have to cover your knees and shoulders.

Gabby - United States

This was the best experience! The way they communicate is unreal and their English is good. They plan out every single volunteer session in depth so you’re never wondering what you’re doing that day. You volunteer once in the AM and once in the PM. Mr. Viet, the chef, and others that help me the us volunteers really do the most to make us feel at home! The only advice I have is to arrive a few days early because I promise even if you sleep on the plane, you will be soooo jet lagged and the first few days of volunteering weren’t so good for me because I was exhausted!! Such a great experience!

Gabriel - Brazil

This is probably one of the most organized and well-structured volunteer programs on WorldPackers! Everyone here is incredibly friendly and kind, they take the time to explain everything to me clearly. We participate in a variety of activities, such as playing games with the elderly, teaching English, and taking teenagers with disabilities for walks.

Each week is carefully planned, and our schedule runs from 7:30AM to 10:30AM and from 1:30PM to 4:00PM. We live in a modern, comfortable house with plenty of space to work, access to computers, and fast internet. I highly recommend this program!

Hannah - United States Incredible experience; Viet, Ly, and Hien are an amazing team that makes you feel so welcome, respected, and valued!

Laela - Australia

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. :)

Jessica - Germany

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 Vietnam, you get amazing food and stay in a comfortable house.

Piper - United States

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!

Alex - United States

Volunteer Vietnam 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.

Miumi - Japan

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 Vietnam 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 Vietnam.

Annabel - United Kingdom

Amazing experience from start to finish. The staff at Volunteer Vietnam are incredibly kind and competent and made everyday volunteering as easy as possible, helping us through. The accommodation was top-notch and everything was provided. I can't wait to come back!

Rebecca - United Kingdom

I had the most amazing experience with Volunteer Vietnam in Da Nang. This was my first ever volunteer trip and I will 100% be returning to do it all over again. The work that Volunteer Vietnam do for the local community is truly inspiring and amazing to be a part of. The staff were all amazing and you can see how much they love giving back to their community. Thank you so much Volunteer Vietnam I would 100% recommend this experience to everyone.

Alyx - United Kingdom

This felt like a home away from home! The quickest 2 weeks ever!! Thank you to the lovely Hien, ly, Vy and Quynh for making the experience with your crazy energy 24/7!! it wouldn’t have been the same without these 4 🤍
The variety of different places you get to volunteer at over your time here make the time go past so quickly and can make it tiring at times but it’s an amazing way to see really quickly where you like to help out with most! The characters you meet - especially at the social support centre - never fail to put a smile on your face and you get to learn their faces really quickly!

Gina - United States

Very educational and impactful experience. I am glad I did it. They are doing great work impacting so many disadvantaged lives in a positive way. The accomodations were fine. The workers were organized and instructed us well. Had one issue. Addressed it and it was resolved.

Noemie - France

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!

Jake - United States

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.

Daniela - Canada

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 😊.

Bárbara -  Argentina

I had the best experience volunteering in this project. The organization is making an amazing job helping a lot of people, it was a pleasure being part of it. I learnt a lot from the activities we did every day, and enjoyed working with the staff and other volunteers.
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!

 

Lisa - France

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!

Lara - Netherlands

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. 🥹❤️

Joe - Malaysia

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!

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.

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. 

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.

 

Rachel - Ireland

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.

 Eimear - Ireland

I hope to come back some day!
