Vietnam is an absolutely beautiful country with wonderfully friendly people and a government that is opening to the west. Vietnam is also a developing country, and its hard-working people are trying to improve their quality of life and better position their nation in competitive regional and global markets.

Global Volunteers was invited by the Ministry of Education and Training to help teach conversational English to high school and university students and younger children at a local orphanage. English language fluency is vital to Vietnam’s long-term development and their ability to communicate in the global marketplace.  They need native speakers to assist them in their high priority effort to make English the language of instruction throughout the country.  In addition, they would like volunteers with professional backgrounds in economics, law, business, and finance to offer lectures at the university.  

We will work in Hanoi, where tourism is booming and the economy is growing.  Walking around this charming city, noted for its parks with lakes and walking paths, unlimited restaurants, comfortable hotels, crafts and art shops, a large Catholic cathedral and several Buddhist Pagodas, provides delightful insights into this remarkable place.  We will stay in the Old Quarter, a particularly fascinating place to enjoy the Vietnamese culture.
