| Working in a Day Care with Disabled Children |
This program is open to interns who are interested in working with children who are disabled as a result of exposure to Agent Orange, an herbicide used by the American Army as a defoliant during the Vietnam War. Exposure to Agent Orange can have detrimental effects on humans and is the root cause of many illnesses, cancers and handicaps. These centers have been put in place in order to provide specialized care and support to the disabled children and to promote their reintegration into society. The centers offer special care, treatment, education and vocational training for the children along with counseling services for the parents. Participants will be responsible for organizing activities and assisting the team of caretakers, teachers, cooks and nurses working at the center.
During your internship, you will live in a house located in Hanoi with other volunteers from the four corners of the world. Your daily interaction with Vietnamese volunteers who work with the partner organizations will help contribute to a rich intercultural experience, both professionally and personally.
