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...

I really learned the value in connection, and how even the smallest of actions can really impact people’s lives.
July 16, 2025by: Arabella GibsonProgram: Volunteer in Special Needs/Childcare in VietnamThis experience will stick with me forever. Over the course of the three weeks I volunteered, I learnt a lot professionally, particularly relating to Occupational Therapy and Physiotherapy. However, I really learned the value in connection, and how even the smallest of actions can really impact people’s lives. I’m so grateful for my experience doing this program, and I really believe you get out whatever effort you put into the program. I couldn’t recommend this experience more if you want to have fun, learn a lot, and truly make a difference.
Best Experience of my Life
May 27, 2025by: Sophie Fraser - United KingdomProgram: Volunteer in Special Needs/Childcare in VietnamThe first thing I can say about IVHQ is that they facilitated the best experience of my life. The time between applying to the program and actually travelling was nearly 2 years, and the team were incredible. Any questions/concerns were answered in depth and quickly, and I attended a couple of the online sessions, which were incredibly informative. While in Vietnam, the local team were incredible, supportive and treated everyone like family. I genuinely couldn't have had a better experience and would recommend it to anyone and everyone!
Life-changing smiles and exploring cultures!
April 05, 2023by: 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!
