I volunteered at a Soup Kitchen. This project taught me lots about the culture, people and country. Proud people that wanted to pay a little just to not feel like they're begging. This location in Ho Ci Minh, feeds 300 plus people daily. It was so rewarding to me. Volunteers from Ho chi Minh, Hong Kong, Canada, USA, Australia and other parts of the world. Made new friends. It was wonderful. I felt safe and was well fed. Highly recommend to anyone wanting to venture out into a new country.

What I would say to future volunteers is trust the reviews from previous participants. Well thought through support system. In our case, the project is mean...
