Project Background:
The hill-tribe groups of Vietnam are a collection of diverse, exotic communities. Despite the natural beauty of their environment they have some of the lowest standards of living, health and education in the country. Many young people from these communities do not attend school and begin working at a very young age.
Project Goals:
Work with local ethnic minority groups to develop English language skills, improve environmental awareness, assist with natural conservation and help improve the interactions of local communities with the tourists on whom they depend.
Project Duration:
VFCD will organize two workcamps each month from February to December each year. Each workcamp will run for 2 weeks duration.
Workcamps in Ban Ho Village start week 1 of each month.
Ban Ho Village is a well developed village with a large number of homestays operating. However the village is suffering from degradation of the environment caused by large development works in the region. There is significant conservation work to be undertaken in this village, as well as assisting homestay owners and children with English language skills.
Workcamps in Ta Phin Village start week 3 of each month.
Ta Phin Village is comparatively under-developed. The villagers wish to improve the quality of their homestays and to improve the methods used by locals to sell handicrafts to tourists visiting the area. They also are very interested in the English language development of their children.
