Volunteers can choose to teach English to children either of kindergarten, primary or secondary age at a privately owned community based center. Volunteers will work at language training centers as phonetic teachers and assistants. This project is especially good for international volunteers who wish to pursue a career in teaching. Volunteers will receive invaluable English language training and skills. Prior experience not necessary, just a desire to help teach English and expand the horizons of these children. Volunteers with language skills in French, Spanish, Chinese also needed. (4-5 hours a day)
Another education project focuses on disadvantaged children. In Hanoi there is a large amount of children with disabilities that lack access to proper education. Most families can not afford to send their children to school, especially a school for special needs. Volunteers can work at a make-shift center, located in an abandoned temple, which provides an opportunity for poor and handicapped students, to have a basic level 1 education (grade 1-5). All students- despite age- are taught, by one retired teacher, at the same level. The teaching focuses on reading and writing Vietnamese and math. The children are taught in Vietnamese, International volunteers will assist local volunteers teaching the children basic English language skills. (3 hours a day)
