VIETNAM / Kaya Responsible Travel
Volunteer abroad in Vietnam and spend time working in a rehabilitation centre which caters to handicapped children of war veterans, invalids, sick soldiers, children affected by dioxin and a number of poor and underprivileged families in all of the towns and provinces in Northern Vietnam. The centre is located in the Ba Via District, a suburb of Hanoi and its main role is admission, care, nursing, orthopaedic surgery, education and vocational training for its residents. The centre was originally set up by the Hanoi Service of Labour, Disabled Soldiers and Social Affairs and is home to over 180 children ranging in age from 2 to 18 years.
As a volunteer you will be able to assist the children with their English, take care of young babies, play sports and games with the children and also help to create craft activities for them. The centre has received both medical and teaching volunteers in the past, so this placement can cater to both interests. If you would like too, you can also get involved with helping to renovate the Chinese Herb Garden as well as painting the walls, windows and bedrooms of some of the children who live on site. For those with experience in physical therapy, there are also rehabilitation rooms which you are able to get involved with by assisting the nurses during the children’s therapy sessions.
