Volunteer Abroad Vietnam Hanoi Street Children Center Program Opportunities

Volunteers are needed to provide orphaned and street children in Hanoi with a basic education. This will be done through educational games and activities created by the volunteer. This center works with children who are forced at a young age to earn a living by collecting rubbish, begging, polishing shoes, working in handicraft factories and other like activities. Currently the center houses seventy students are hold three classes- two in the morning and one in the afternoon. As a result, the students are not receiving a full curriculum and the staff is over worked. Volunteers are desperately needed to act as teachers assistants and organize educational games and activities for the students. This project needs international volunteers to work cooperatively to create educational programs which include both Vietnamese and English subjects. The center is the only hope that they have for a better life. (7-8 hours per day)
