Hi Guys,

I'm in Saigon for 2 years for work. I'm looking for a place that I can volunteer during weekend. Preferably in an orphanage.
Does anybody know if there's any place like this?

Thanks
Lydia

Hi Lydia,

I want to recommend Maison Chance (http://www.maison-chance.org/maison-chance/).

Founder of Maison Chance is a Swiss named Tim.
She started to open orphanage in Vietnam when she was 21 years old and now she's 45. She speaks Vietnamese fluently.

I've met her last month and just feel overwhelmed with what she has done.
I don't know what's available to volunteer yet but you can contact them via contact info on their website.
I can give you her contact if you want. (She speaks English and French beside Vietnamese)

What ever you do, don't pay money to volunteer.

Hi I chanced on your reply when I am researching on volunteering opportunities in hcmc on weekends. Would you be able to share with me the founder's contact ? I would like to find out more.
