Volunteers will join a group of local people and local volunteers to make “Chung” cakes and give them as happy gifts for the Lunar New Year. “Chung” cakes need to be cooked for 12 hours. Volunteers will also organise special parties, give gifts to the street children and children with HIV/AIDS and wish them a Happy New Year.
Schedule:
Volunteers will work from 9am to 11am. In the afternoon from 2pm until 4pm. Free time after 4pm.
Accommodation and Food:
Volunteers will stay in one of our Youth Houses with very simple and basic facilities. Volunteers should be ready to sleep on the floor. All volunteers have to prepare and cook meals for themselves.
Location:
Near the centre of Ha Noi.
NB:
Please bring sleeping bag, mat, raincoat, info materials and pictures of your country...and do not forget to bring smiles!
Hosting Fee:
We are a non-profit organisation with no external income so we charge volunteers coming from developed countries a participation fee of 150 Euro per workcamp (you can pay in US$ or Vietnam Dong in the approximate amount). This fee includes accommodation, it covers the costs of all projects (eg. food, scholarship, donation, festivals for disadvantaged children, materials, training for locals), local transport, local food and 30% of these fees will be used to SJ Vietnam administration (staff salary and overhead costs, etc).
« I appreciate that constructive criticism may be more useful to you than praise but I honestly have no gripes that I could possibly mention. I can only thank you for the experience that I really enjoyed and will undoubtedly follow-up in the coming year. »
