Volunteer in VietnamAmeriSpan offers Volunteer placements in VietnamVisitors to Vietnam may arrive with pre-conceived notions based on historical events and popular myths, but both will leave with a different impression altogether! With a capital in the north and its largest city in the south, it is easy for travelers to fly in at one end and out the other without doubling back. Saigon is the more modern and cosmopolitan of the two, with English-speaking guides and upscale nightlife. Hanoi offers a fascinating look into Vietnamese history, architecture and scenery.Vietnam offers 3,000 kilometers of widely varied yet distinctly Asian coastline. You will find that boat trips are common and necessary when visiting the best of Vietnam. Places such as Nha Trang can be packed with tourists during the busier months, but if you have time and desire you can find an isolated hideaway such as Ho Coc. You'll want to spend time in Vietnam to explore the vibrant culture and see a side of Asia that many Western travelers avoid. Arguably the most stable Communist stronghold in Asia, Vietnam is quietly struggling to grow their economy while not losing too many communist ideals. Perhaps less refined than Thailand and harder to get to than a major hub, but the trip is guaranteed to be something out of the ordinary and beyond the average traveler's expectations. Volunteer placements are located in Giao Xuan, Nam Dinh, 3 hours from Hanoi. This is a beautiful village with rice field and sea view. You can walk or ride bicycle around the village or join sport activities with locals in the afternoon. Volunteers can join in a teaching project in a Vietnamese Kindergarten teaching English or organizing creative activities. PLEASE NOTE: Vietnam not available in 2011. Will relaunch in 2012.
