Background: With a total of 326 children (155 girls), Nuoc Trong nursery school is supposed to be

among the main kindergartens in Tan Hoi village. Operated by the workforce of 10 staff and 19 teachers,

the kindergarten is still considered to be underdeveloped with the lack of necessary facilities. Indeed, the

school is totally short of teaching tools and there are not enough toys to help the kids to develop their

intelligence as well as social skills properly. Additionally, the majority of teachers are young and

inexperienced, thus suffering a great deal of difficulties in teaching and nurturing the kids. Furthermore, a

number of classrooms in the school are quite poorly decorated, which may make it much harder in

stimulating the children’s spiritual awareness and growth.

Work: Organize activities for the kids (teaching, singing, playing games...); do gardening (planting,

picking-up grass, etc.); join in with repairing house or other manual works.

voluntary work at the center is quite intense and it requires high motivation and patience from

volunteers, volunteers need to be well prepared before starting this project but will gain so much from

the experience.

SJV1521 14/07/2015 - 25/07/2015 ENV/CUL/KIDS/SOCI/ Vols: 15



Background BUOC-village is a small village of Thai-people (an ethnic group came from southern

of China) with very pure landscape. As you can see on the above map, this area is placed by only

green color and a lot of mountain. Because of this natural condition, Thai-people here rely mainly

on agriculture. In the past, the village was located adjacent to streams and people in the village

used water of the stream for gardening. During the rainy season water from the mountain goes

down through the streams and washes everything away, making it very dangerous to live close to

the stream. For this reason, the government has helped residents here to move to higher lands, and

build permanent \traditional houses with wood. 10 years have passed since the new BUOC-village

was reconstructed in 2002. Currently, firm houses, concrete roads, electricity have become the

basic-living-condition of every villager. Although the stream is very beautiful it is dangerous.

Despite the good aspects of new infrastructure, villagers still lack a lot of education and

understanding about modern society. Therefore, it would be very helpful to help and stay with

BUOC-villagers.

Work: Help local people to garden and repair traditional houses (if needed), organize leisure activities

for their children and cultural exchange with the villagers.

Location: Buoc village, Hoa Binh city.


Accommodation and food: Volunteers will stay together in the bamboo house; western toilets and

bath room are available. Meals are normally served by the local people with the help of volunteers.

Remarks: Sleeping bag, sleeping mat, pillow, prove-water clothes, raincoat, info materials, pictures,

specialties and traditional clothes of your country, you are encouraged to bring along small gifts for

the local people and the children and volunteers of your camp.

6. Summer camp for disadvantaged children

SJV1508 09/06/2015 – 20/06/2015 EDU/KIDS/CUL/ART/SPORT Vols: 10



Background: Since the Youth Centre project was launched 9 years ago SJ Vietnam has succeeded in

meeting their first target goals due to the support of our local and international partners and endless

hard work of our coordinators and volunteers.

SJ Vietnam had sent most of the disadvantaged, poor and street children to public school and

vocational school where they can acquire a proper education and get integrated into the society.

Nevertheless the school fees, provided entirely by SJ Vietnam, are rather expensive and need to be

14



covered. SJ Vietnam will therefore continue to provide education to the children staying at the Youth

Center but will also participate to activities to raise funds to cover the children school fees. The Centre

demonstrates the important role of volunteerism and public-private partnerships in social development.

Our general aspirations: gathering together to establish this center for disadvantaged, poor and street

children; create a space for people to exchange ideas, have a chance to study vocational skills and to

be integrated in the community. We also want this center to be a place for Vietnamese youth to

exchange their knowledge, experience and culture with international volunteers via workshops and

everyday exchange. The Youth House school has now become a Youth center.

Work: Organize activities for disadvantaged children who live illegally in the Red river and at the

school nearby Youth center.

Accommodation and food: Volunteers will sleep in volunteer’s house at SJ Vietnams office. Meals

are at local restaurant. Volunteers will have lunch at the Youth center with children and the other

Background: Cat Ba is the largest of the 366 islands spanning 260km2 that comprise the Cat Ba

Archipelago, which makes up the southeastern edge of Ha Long Bay in Northern Vietnam.

Cat Ba is the largest island in the Bay and approximately half of its area is covered by a National Park,

which is home to the highly endangered Cat Ba Langur. The island has a wide variety of natural

ecosystems, both marine and terrestrial, leading to incredibly high rates of biodiversity. Types of

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ha_Long_Bay


natural habitats found on Cat Ba Archipelago include limestone karsts, tropical limestone forests, coral

reefs, mangrove and sea grass beds, lagoons, beaches, caves, and willow swamp forests.

For all of its natural beauty, Cat Ba Island faces numerous environmental problems. Increases in

tourism and recent developments threaten the ecological integrity and biodiversity of the island,

reducing and fragmenting the natural habitat for Cat Ba's numerous species. Illegal hunting and

poaching, overfishing, and water pollution in Ha Long Bay continue to threaten the ecological health

of the island. The island is a national park of Vietnam and was recognized by UNESCO in December

2004 as a Biosphere reserve of the world.

city and protect against coastal erosion and storms coming in from the sea. During the war, the

mangrove was a dense hiding place from which to launch attacks on the city, which both the

Vietnamese and Americans found extremely difficult to penetrate or patrol. Now the government is

Background: Giao Xuan is one of the poor villages in Nam Dinh province. Villagers’ lives are

associated with sea including salt production, marine aquaculture. This hard work depends on the

weather; therefore, villagers face many difficulties for their lives. More than 90% of the villagers

are poor farmers and fishers, which makes them difficult to build good facilities for children in the

village. Giao Xuan kindergarten is not an exception. The kindergarten was established in August,

1990. Experiencing 25 years, it is now in a bad condition such as cracked and moldy walls, leaky

ceiling. However, there are still more than 100 children coming to this school every week.

Although this is the only school of the commune, the living conditions of the children here are

very poor and are in need of renovation.

Work: Help to paint the rooms at kindergartens; organize games and leisure activities for the poor

children; teach basic English through games, activities, songs…

marking the independence of the Dai Viet. It was constructed on the remains of a Chinese fortress

dating from the 7th century, on drained land reclaimed from the Red River Delta in Hanoi. It was the

centre of regional political power for almost 13 centuries without interruption. The Imperial Citadel

buildings and the remains in the 18 Hoang Dieu Archaeological Site reflect a unique South-East Asian

culture specific to the lower Red River Valley, at the crossroads between influences coming from

China in the north and the ancient Kingdom of Champa in the south.

Work: Lesson of basic principles and techniques of archaeological excavation for children at world

heritage site. Workshops, discussion and other creative activities should be added to share learning

experience of volunteers with the local youth or student at university.

Location: The Imperial citadel of Thang Long, Ha Noi city

Terminal: Noi Bai international airport (HAN).

Accommodation and food: Volunteers will stay at the volunteer’s house with basic accommodation.

SJV1534 06/10/2015 - 17/10/2015 EDU/MAN/RENO/KIDS Vols: 15

Background: Vinh Son orphanage is an organization held by a group of catholic people who have a

warm heart to help poor children improve their life by attending schools. There are more than 100

21



children from 3 to 12 year-old from poor families where parents don’t have any condition to take care

of their children. As a result, they don’t go to school although studying is a right of children. Thanks to

volunteers of Vinh Son orphanage, the unlucky children are found and summoned to join the class

held by them with hope for a better life. The local volunteering teachers teach them reading, writing

and calculating while preparing documents for them to apply to public school at the same time. The

teachers also give them moral lessons so they can stay away from social evils.

Work: Organize activities and teach English; conduct small workshops about child’s right for the kids

here, get adult, young parents who live nearby involved.

Location: Vinh Son school for poor children/ orphans

15. Youth exchange in Mekong delta

SJV1522 14/07/2015 – 25/07/2015 ARTS/EDU/RENO Vols: 15

Background: A part of South-Western Region of Vietnam, Dong Thap is a province with highly

developed agriculture industry. It adjoins Cambodia to the North and 3 other local provinces to the

West, East and South. A typical province in Mekong Delta, Dong Thap has a complex system of

rivers, channels as well as big lakes and ponds. Taking advantages of its large water body, Dong Thap

has developed a very convenient transportation system. And as it is a very agriculture-focused

province, Dong Thap produces many valuable types of rice, poultry and seafood. Nowadays, the most

popular sceneries are borderless rice fields and peaceful boats floating on the channels.

22



Enjoying a temperate climate, wide irrigation system, permanent fresh-water source supplied by Tien

River and Hau River, and rich river deposit, the agriculture of Dong Thap keeps growing well. At

present, Dong Thap is the 3rd largest rice paddy in Vietnam with a planted area of 462,042ha and

paddy output of more than 2.8 million tons. Dong Thap is also well known for fruits, specifically as

Cao Lanh mango, Lai Vung mandarin, Chau Thanh long an and Phong Hoa grapefruit (fruit-able

during the year), etc. which bring about high economic values for gardeners. Within the province,

there are various typical orchards having been specialized to produce consistent quality fruits, which

aim at building up brand-name and meeting export requirements.In Cao Lanh, almost local people

doing farming in the rice fields and gardening.

Work: Organize activities for students in universities, primary school nearby and do small

construction at school.

Accommodation and food: Volunteers will stay at the guesthouse with basic conditions. Meals can be

provided in the canteen or at local restaurant.

Location: Cao Lanh district, Dong Thap province

16. Meaningful Mid-autumn festival for disadvantaged children

SJV1532 22/09/2015 – 29/09/2015 FEST/KIDS/SOCI/ART Vols: 15


Background: The Mid-Autumn festival is named "Tết Trung Thu" in Vietnamese. It is also known

as Children's Festival because of the event's emphasis on children. In olden times, the Vietnamese

23



believed that children, being innocent and pure, had the closest connection to the sacred and natural

world. Being close to children was seen as a way to connect with animist spirits and deities.

One important event before and during the festival are lion dances. Dances are performed by both non-

professional children's groups and trained professional groups. Lion dance groups perform on the

streets, going to houses asking for permission to perform for them. If the host consents, the "lion" will

come in and start dancing as a blessing of luck and fortune for the home. In return, the host

gives lucky money to show their gratitude

Work: Volunteers will prepare performances and gifts for the disadvantaged children with different

backgrounds from different projects of SJ Vietnam: street children living in the Fisher Village or the

children patients in National hospital of Acupuncture, etc.



Location: Ha Noi, Ho Chi Minh

Terminal: SJV1533: Noi Bai International Airport (HAN)

Remarks: Sleeping bag, games, toys and activities materials for the children if you have. Mid-autumn

17. Warm X-mas for disadvantaged children



Background: Christmas is not listed as a Vietnamese official holiday but we still celebrate that day in

Vietnam since Vietnam used to be part of the French Empire and there are still French influences in

the Christmas traditions. Many Catholic churches have a big nativity crib scene or 'creche' with nearly

life size statues of Mary, Joesph, baby Jesus, the shepherds and animals. In some areas of Ho Chi

Minh City, usually in Catholic parishes, people have big crib scenes in front of their houses and 24


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucky_money

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lion_dance

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Animism


decorate the whole street, turning it into a Christmas area! These are popular for people to visit and

look at the scenes.

We - SJ Vietnam try our very best to “bring” Santa Clause, whose are our international volunteers to

the disadvantage children (orphans, disabled, intellectual, hospital patients, the homeless and the poor)

to share and to build up their dream. Children can be born in different situation but they need to live in

an equal environment and we are here to create that environment.

Work: Volunteers will carry out performances, decoration, games, drawing, gifts and fundraising,

etc...

Accommodation and food: Volunteers will stay at the volunteer’s house or guest house with basic

living conditions. Meals are at local restaurant near project site.

Location: Ha Noi, Ho Chi Minh

18. Traditional New Year for poor and disadvantaged children

SJV1538 30/01/2016 – 05/02/2016 EVE/SOCI/FEST/KIDS Vols: 12

Background: Tết ([tet˧˥] or [tɜːt˧˥]), or Vietnamese New Year, is the most important celebration in

Vietnamese culture. The word is a shortened form of Tết Nguyên Đán (Nôm: 節元旦), which is Sino-

Vietnamese for "Feast of the First Morning of the First Day". Tết celebrates the arrival of spring based

on the Vietnamese variation of the Chinese lunisolar calendar, which usually has the date falling

between the months of January or February

25

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/N%C3%B4m

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:IPA_for_Vietnamese

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:IPA_for_Vietnamese


It takes place from the first day of the first month of the Vietnamese calendar (around late January or

early February) until at least the third day. Many Vietnamese prepare for Tết by cooking special

holiday foods and cleaning the house. These food includes Chung cake (bánh chưng), bánh dày, dried

young bamboo soup (canh măng), giò and sticky rice. There are a lot of customs practiced during Tết,

such as visiting a person's house on the first day of the new year (xông nhà), ancestral worshipping,

wishing New Year's greetings, giving lucky money to children and elderly people, and opening a shop.

Tết is also an occasion for pilgrims and family reunions. During Tết, Vietnamese visit their relatives

and temples, forgetting about the troubles of the past year and hoping for a better upcoming year. They

consider Tết to be the first day of spring and the festival is often called Hội xuân (spring festival).

Work: Volunteers will make traditional Chung cakes and prepare special performances and gifts for

the disadvantaged people.
