Leaving Behind and Taking With
Posted by Brianna Schlarb on November 22nd, 2011
I can’t believe my time in Vietnam has already come to an end. I have learned so much from this experience about myself, about other cultures, about other people and about the world around me. As I prepare to depart for Canada, I feel as though I am not leaving behind nearly as much as [...]

Hello all!

I cannot believe how fast the past two months have flown by! I only have one month left of my internship with CEYOHO, and I think it will be a busy one. Up until now, things have felt a bit slow at work for me, at least compared to jobs I’ve had in Canada, so [...]

Communities in Development

It is about mid-way through my time here in Vietnam, and so far, the experience has been amazing and enlightening.

Probably the thing that has really hit me most is the presence of a real community of ex-patriots – people who [...]

I am only four weeks into my placement, but so much has already happened! Three weeks ago, some Canadian volunteers and I went to Ha Long Bay and Cat Ba Island!
