Accommodation, food and transport arrangements

The volunteers will live in twin rooms with aircon in summertime, hot water for winter shower and Wi-Fi, fan, etc. They will enjoy a shared kitchen, common space and shared bathroom with others. Accommodation is located in a quieter and no tourist area in Hanoi, the capital of Vietnam. Here, volunteers can immerse themselves in the local culture and community, away from the hustle and bustle of tourist areas. As part of the package, volunteers will receive three nutritious meals per day for six days a week. Additionally, they will be provided with a complimentary monthly bus pass.

Training during the activity

Volunteers receive extensive online pre-departure training covering the ESC Humanitarian Aid Framework, healthcare, roles and responsibilities, security, communication, critical thinking and self-care.
