Come along to Vietnam and provide humanitarian aid, education and community assistance in the bustling Ho Chi Minh City. As Vietnam’s largest city, Ho Chi Minh attracts many tourists, as well as volunteers. Volunteers can assist at a project of their choosing- assisting with child care at a local kindergarten, teaching English to a buddy at a local college, helping serve food in a food shop or assisting in a home for disabled children. No matter the placement choice, volunteers will be having a positive impact on this community.
