Client Testimonials

“My stay in Vietnam was nothing short of fantastic! My coordinator made sure I was very well taken care of at all times. The program provided me with a very fulfilling experience which, was everything I asked for and more. Thank you for everything.”
- Sara Onvani (USA)

“I had the most amazing time. I've never done this sort of volunteering work before but everything surpassed my expectations! So many volunteering organizations only have one charity programme. But WLS provides real flexibility which means you feel you achieve much more than perhaps the others do. Thank you for an amazing time. My coordinator Ms Hang was fantastic, nothing was too much trouble and she became a friend to all the volunteers and understood what everyone wanted to do. I think we all came away with our special charities and special memories.”
- Stella Ciorra (UK)

Accommodation

We have our own Home Base Guesthouse for our volunteers in Ho Chi Minh City! Our home base is near the center of Ho Chi Minh City where our volunteers stay together. It is a large building where volunteers stay, sometimes sharing a room with one or two other volunteers of the same gender. It also has a living room, a kitchen for our volunteers to cook, a garden, and 4 bathrooms. There is a free internet connection when you bring your laptop!

This is a great place where volunteers can get to know each other and share their experiences. If you want our coordinator can also teach you some Vietnamese cooking!
