Program Description

Building Homes for Underprivileged Families in Vietnam

Description

The source of Vietnam's lush beauty is also a cause of real problems for the local population. The monsoon rains that paint the island a deep green also wreak havoc on the poorly constructed houses - and that's where you come in! You'll be working with one of our partner projects south of Ho Chi Minh City re-housing as many families as possible, all supervised by trained professionals (just to make sure they stay standing!).

Highlights

* Getting a great workout whilst building and making a positive and tangible difference to peoples lives
* Learning about life in the Mekong Delta - the heart of southern Vietnam
* Food! Vietnamese cuisine is some of the world's tastiest
