Question 1

Can I use Facebook, YouTube, Twitter or Instagram in Vietnam?

Accepted Answer

Yes of course. Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and Gmail are all easy to access here in Vietnam.

Question 2

How difficult is it to get around Vietnam?

Accepted Answer

Getting around in Vietnam is fairly easy, depending on the city you’re located in. Almost all bigger cities are connected by an affordable train network. Most cities have GrabBikes or GrabCars, a very cheap and reliable alternative to taxis. We would recommend downloading the Grab (similar to Uber) application and setting it up before arriving.

Question 3

Can I travel around Vietnam before or after taking part in a volunteer program with C4C?

Accepted Answer

Certainly! If you apply for our Teach for Change program, we will support you with your visa during your stay. If you already travel through Vietnam, we can adjust accordningly. If you are volunteering with the Community Engagement Program, we are not involved with your visa application. Therefore you are free to arrange any additional time as you please.

Feel free to ask our staff for insider tips.

Question 4

I'm eager to volunteer with your organization, but I only have a limited time frame of two or three weeks available. Do you offer any programs that would accommodate this?

Accepted Answer

Certainly! Through our latest initiative, the Community Engagement Program, we provide short-term volunteering opportunities for a minimum of two weeks. However, please note that this program is self-funded, so volunteers are responsible for covering expenses related to food, accommodation, and activities.

Question 5

I would like to be involved in both, the Empowerment Plan and Teach For Change. Is this possible?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! Within our Community Engagement Program (CEP), you have the opportunity to empower disadvantaged women while also providing assistance in teaching communities in need. However, please note that this program is specifically designed for short-term volunteers.

Question 6

What types of Vietnamese dishes are taught in C4C's cooking classes? Can I participate in cooking classes as a solo traveler, or are group bookings required?

Accepted Answer

And of course, everyone can participate. But please be aware that these classes only take place if we have a minimum of 7 participants.

Question 7

Can I use my bank card in Vietnam?

Accepted Answer

Please be aware that most financial transactions in Vietnam are done in cash, however if you wish to withdraw money from your bank account, in every city you will find ATMs where that is possible, mostly from the bigger Vietnamese banks such as VCB, ACDB or Agribank.

Question 8

Will there be Wi-Fi in my apartment and at my workplace?

Accepted Answer

Most of our school have wireless internet access. Your apartment/house will always have WiFi. Not everywhere in Vietnam can easily reach Wi-Fi, but it is possible to have Internet access since your phone will normally have a 4G-connection with your Vietnamese sim card, which we suggest you get upon your arrival at the airport. It should only cost around 100k VND (Vietnam Dong is the currency) or $5, plus you should add money for phone calls and data. Make sure they set up everything for you when you buy your sim card. Your host can also help you with this upon your arrival.
