IVHQ Food Outreach Ho Chi Minh City - Even better 2nd time!

We didn't think it could get better!!! My husband and I volunteered in 2019 for the same program. This year, though a different campus, and different food shop, the experience was even better than expected. The IVHQ coordinator and food shop team were great to work with. There was plenty to do each day from prep (setting up, cutting vegetables, raking rice) to serving (soup, rice, helping with takeaway) to clean up, with opportunities to interact with both staff and clients on a daily basis. Whether through pointing, smiling, show and tell or having the Coordinator translate for us, communication was easy and fruitful. We left with a humbling sense of contributing to a much-needed service to the community while having the good fortune to be able to travel, spend time with other volunteers and experience working and visiting this wonderful country. Weekend to Mui Ne coordinated by local IVHQ statf, was a treat as well, including visit to sand dunes and chance to volunteer and teach English in small remote village.
