Experience a Homestay while teaching Kids English in Vietnam
ReportLocation: Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam
We are an education project to help the Children study English with Volunteers from many countries.The project is aimed at creating opportunities to learn English with native speaking English teachers for children from single mother families, children from poor families and low paid workers in rural areas of Binh Duong province that are unable to afford for English courses in other English Centers. Through learning English with native speaking teachers, the children will be equipped with English skills that help them to grasp better job opportunities when they become adults.
We are looking for Volunteers to help Vietnamese Children study English. The kids will be from 4-14 years old. All of them are children from working families
The volunteers will help them by teaching English to them. Each class will have a Vietnamese assistant to control the kids. They are also Vietnamese volunteers. They are very friendly and useful.
I have all the reading and learning material for the kids which volunteers will use to help teach. I usually assist the volunteers on how to teach if the volunteers haven’t taught English before. I have a computer for volunteers to use, flashcards, printer, paper, etc.
A Volunteer will teach about 3 hours/day, maximum 18 hours/week. We prefer the Volunteers who can stay here as long as possible. Minimux is about 1 month.
Volunteers will stay together in the “Volunteer House” next door. We provide a big room with a double bed and two smaller rooms with a single bed each.
I will offer 3 meals a day for volunteers. I usually cook many different delicious foods for the volunteers. I get very happy seeing volunteers enjoy the food I have cooked. All the foods are fresh and healthy. On days off we usually have small parties/gatherings. I usually invite all our foreigner friends to come and make friends with the volunteers here.
There is one motorbike and one bicycle here available for volunteers. You can drive by yourself to see many cultural and historic places, beautiful beaches, natural reserve around here. I will teach you Vietnamese and teach you cooking. Vietnam is a tropical country, so we have many kinds of fruits. All of them are very fresh and tasty
