Ho Chi Minh city is a bustling industrious city where the vibe of the Vietnamese modern life is concentrated. Apart from being the economical heart of the country, the city is also its cultural and historical site. Among the hectic metropolitan atmosphere, the spirit of an ancient culture and stunning past can still be felt and traced back in time.

It was a pleasure for me to have an exchange to Vietnam for 6 weeks. I had unforgettable

moments during my stay in Vietnam. Vietnam was epic and wonderful! I made many new

friends and I think. Vietnamese are so friendly and fun. During my project,

I didn't find any difficulties at all, all went very well and it was nice meeting and knowing the kids from kindergarten. They are so cute and

cheerful. The staffs are also kind and welcome us so warmly. But one thing that I was a little bit concerned up until now is that I did not commit fully at all during my project because I was quite

free and did not do many things so I felt like I did not contribute myself fully.

Joint NPO/NGO Project Phase 2,

20th Jul - 31st Aug

Before my arrival to Ho Chi Minh City, I was very excited to see the city and meet with the kids I will spend

time for weeks. I was actually feeling comfortable with the teaching part because I had my preparation and everything to teach them English

in an enjoyable way. So when I went to the kinder garden for the first time children were quite surprised to see me and they were not interacting with

me. However, I was sure that they would get used to me in few days. Actually they started hugging me and acting very nicely to me after the

second day. To be honest, when I was trying to teach them English, there were some times that I felt like they were not listening to me but I was

always keeping in mind that they are too small, so it is normal if they cannot concentrate all the time. I was always motivating myself, even though if they were not listening to me really carefully, I would keep on talking in English

randomly so they could get used to hearing some English. After the past few weeks when it was the end of my time in Ho Chi Minh City, I was feeling that I did something to improve their English. So the feeling that I have succeeded in helping them learning English was a really invigorating

experience for me. Plus, the teachers and the administration really helped me a lot and

tried to motivate me.
