Volunteer in Vietnam
Anyone who decides to volunteer in Vietnam will see the spirit of the old country living on through its temples, colonial buildings and traditional villages. One thing the country is trying to consign to the past though is the acute poverty that afflicts much of the country. Volunteering in Vietnam is a great way to help the country move on from its troubled past as well as seeing a country too often missed off travellers’ itinerary.
