Food charity project in Vietnam

As a volunteer, you will be able to perform various tasks:

• Assist with food preparation for lunch.
• Help with meal preparation.
• Serve meals to a group of 300 to 500 local people.
• Keep cooking equipment clean.
• Keep kitchens clean and sanitized.

However, you will not be allowed to cook, as this falls under the legal responsibility of the establishment.

Between 300 and 500 people benefit from these meals, including the elderly, local workers, people with disabilities, students, and children.

The accommodation is located on a campus in a college dorm. As such, it follows certain campus rules such as a night curfew.

There are plenty of taxis around our campus. You can easily catch one from the main road to reach your desired destination in Ho Chi Minh City.

There are also several ATMs in the area where we are staying. The closest one is about a 3-minute walk from our campus.

There are nice local cafés, convenience stores, supermarkets, pharmacies, swimming pools, and restaurants next to our dorm. A beautiful and peaceful place where you can enjoy fresh juices, snacks, etc.

All necessary amenities can be found in the city: after all, we are located in the country’s economic capital!

Meals

Three good Asian-style meals (breakfast, lunch and dinner) are provided every day of the programme, and on weekends only brunch and dinner. However, meals will also be served based on your dietary requirements, but you need to inform us in advance.

As the country’s largest city, bustling with energy, innovation, and constant movement, Ho Chi Minh City, formerly known as Saigon, is the economic heart of Vietnam and the main hub of the southern region. This cosmopolitan, free-spirited metropolis combines the old and new Vietnam within a compact urban space, embodying both the city’s past and future. Ho Chi Minh City is not only Vietnam’s primary economic center but also carries numerous cultural and historical imprints from its more than 300 years of developmental history.

The accommodation center is located at 23/8 Hoang Viet Ward 4, Tan Binh District, Ho Chi Minh City. It takes about ten minutes (2.7 km) to get there from the airport (Tan Son Nhat International Airport) and 15 to 20 minutes from the city center.

Moreover, the center is surrounded by various facilities such as ATMs, restaurants, post office, swimming pool, gym, coffee shop and supermarkets. You are free to relax and explore the city center during your free time, after programme hours or on weekends, and make the most of your stay!
