Although Vietnam has now been at peace for many years, effects from war continue to haunt not only the adult population of this beautiful country but also its children. Volunteers have the opportunity to work in institutions caring for children and young people affected by Agent Orange or in schools and community clinics looking after mentally disabled children. Work is somewhat varied dependent on the institution where the volunteer is placed, however typical examples of jobs and tasks can include; assisting local staff in providing rehabilitation exercises and therapist treatments for children, playing with children and entertaining/educating them with games, music, arts and other exercises, helping to develop fundraising initiatives to ensure ongoing funding for these institutions an...

Life-changing smiles and exploring cultures!
by: Jordan Van WykProgram: Volunteer in Special Needs/Childcare in VietnamThe best moments from volunteering was any time spent with the disabled children classroom! Their smiles are life changing! Do it! So fun to explore a new culture with an underlying purpose. Have done trips through IVHQ twice now, and love it!

by: Bowen Li - CanadaProgram: Volunteer in Special Needs/Childcare in VietnamBefore this opportunity, I already have a lot of experience working with disability groups and with children by being a Community Support Work at Saskatchewan Abilities Council, and I really enjoyed the work I did with them.

How could you say no?!
by: Agnes Achetraritei - AustraliaProgram: Volunteer in Special Needs/Childcare in VietnamI really wanted to start volunteering and didn't know how to go about it. To try and find a good program and company that I could do it through was challenging. I had heard through a friend that a few years ago she had Volunteered through IVHQ and even after looking them up and reading the amazing reviews, I was still a little hesitant. My volunteer program was in Vietnam (Ho Chi Minh) and it was nothing short but amazing. Helping out with children who had disabilities and providing them supp...
