I am travelling to Chùa Lá Gò Vấp, Quang Trung in Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam in September 2017 to volunteer for 12 weeks with La Pagoda ( Chance Giver Project ).Chance Giver project takes place in a pagoda where people aim to bring better language education to young students. They provide language education at a cost that couldn’t be more affordable – 0 VND so that every young students can take part in. This project is located in Ho Chi Minh City, the largest and most visited city of Vietnam.

I am looking for well wishers who can provide in-kind support or donations to help me fund my Airfare , Health Insurance , AIESEC fees and Visa during my stay in Ho Chi Minh. The Chance Giver Project is already kind enough to provide accommodation and food ( Vegan meal which will be served three times a day) .

I have four major responsibilities which will include;
1.Designing lesson plans, teaching English (Japanese, Chinese) to students aged from 7 - 21 years old.
2.Building content, designing plans and organizing extra-curricular activities for students.
3.Joining relief or charity trips organized by the pagoda (if any)
4.Engaging in AIESEC integration events, learning - development activities

This opportunity to volunteer abroad will inspire other University students from Kenya to pursue pro-social causes in their future lives and careers.I want to be involved to improve the quality of education for these students and children in the La Pagoda.

At a personal level this volunteer experience will develop my leadership potential through experiential learning
