A Guide to Volunteering Abroad in Vietnam
Locations
Volunteer work in Vietnam can be found in and around the major cities of Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, as well as in the north near Ha Long Bay.
Ho Chi Minh City (formerly Saigon) is Vietnam’s largest city, found down in the south of the country. It has a more colonial feel than Hanoi up in the north, with some very famous western-looking buildings, such as the Notre-Dame Cathedral. While volunteering in HCMC, (as it is often referred to) a great place to visit is the Cu Chi tunnel, where visitors can climb into the original Vietcong tunnel system used during the war to gain fascinating insight into the conditions in which the soldiers from the north worked when they managed to overthrow the mighty West in the late 60’s.
Hanoi, the lively and ancient capital city, is considered the main cultural center of Vietnam. In the old centre you can buy produce and handicrafts from street sellers, watch traditional water puppet shows, and experience what this modern city has to offer in terms of shopping, Karaoke bars, cinemas, and dance clubs. Volunteer placements in Hanoi can range from centers for individuals with disabilities to community development projects or health placements.
Ha Long Bay. North of Hanoi, this archipelago of rocky limestone towers on the northern coast is a UNESCO World Heritage Site that attracts thousands of visitors each year. Volunteers can sail through the mystical landscape in traditional ships and explore caves and grottos in more modern canoes. Local fishing villages also regularly host visitors for seafood feasts, which is a must try for those who volunteer in Vietnam.
