“I really enjoyed the project in Vietnam. Working with the students was very rewarding. Both the students and teachers were very happy and appreciative and i felt welcome from the first day.
...it gave me an opportunity to do a short placement which allowed me to see whether I liked volunteering. Also PoD seemed well organised and the website was easy to follow. I would recommend them.”

“Teaching Vietnamese children English is a rewarding task - they are very eager to learn, and very disciplined. But still they love to run around and play and luckily there was time to do that as well. I definitely want to go back some day. It's a great way to get to know the local people and you can help the children to get a better life with more opportunities.
I chose PoD because it looked like a professional organisation and it was cheaper than other organisations. I would definately recommend PoD to others.”

“My two weeks in Vietnam were certainly some of the best I've ever had. Emptying my mind from all kinds of expectation, bias or prejudice about the upcoming volunteering experience, I was able to enjoy every single moment to the fullest. The project was well supported and well organized and it was a privilege to interact with the children on a day to day basis.”
Suma
“I chose to be involved in this project as I wanted to get to know a different culture ‘from the inside’ and I really feel I’ve achieved this. Being with children, many of whom don’t have much in terms of material possessions, but who more than make up for that in smiles and warmth, has been a real pleasure. They’ve really allowed us into their worlds and it has been a joy to get to know them and see them learn and develop, even during a short period. I would fully recommend signing up for a project such as this – you will get so much more than you could ever imagine out of it!”
Natalie
“Working with the children has been such an eye opener and I will remember each child and their individual story. Tomorrow we have a farewell party with the children and I’m looking forward to seeing them again even though it will be my last time before I leave for London- I know it will be extremely difficult to say goodbye as the children have such amazing, beautiful, individual personalities which I will dearly miss."
