Feedback from Vietnam Volunteers

Here are some of the emails we have received from volunteers about their experiences in Vietnam.

"My best advice would be to jump in wholeheartedly - eat new foods, take language lessons, go on crazy motor-bike rides, and be willing to try nearly anything.

In addition, especially for those who are traveling to Asia for the first time, keep an open mind. Things may be quite different than life at home, so work hard to understand Vietnam and its people. And be respectful, be respectful, be respectful."

"My overall impression was that it is a great program. It combined just enough elements of personal challenge and adventure in a developing country, with support if and when you needed it."

Richard

"The program was well organized – everything worked smoothly from the New Zealand end. Quynh at Duy Tan University was extremely caring and diligent in taking care of us. Not only were all of the organizational arrangements well managed, but his personal concern and care for us was heartwarming and contributed enormously to our enjoyment of our time at the university."

"The contact and support made me feel quite comfortable with the experience."

"GVN is great. I think you have quality programs for a decent price. It’s good to know there is always someone on the other side to ask questions. You are definitely forth coming with all of the information you have available."
