I had and still have an amazing experience with ken! His family has made me feel at home in Ha the school. The students are incredibly kind and funny. Daily life included teaching my students, having family lunch and dinner and helping out in the hostel. On several occasions the students took me out on the motorbike and we explored ha the school region. The entire experience was so wonderful that i decided to stay in ha the school for another month and spend more time with my students and kens amazing family!

Amazing volunteering experience. Ken and Thuy are truly good beautiful people. What they do for the school, how much they care is just so inspiring. Ken's need to support the whole spectrum of ethnic minorities made my heart melt. The lessons were awesome, students are very motivated, if you make them feel comfortable you will gain awesome friends. Ken's tiny baby son is the cutest and his teenage daughter is amazing. The conditions in the hostel are just incredible, I would call it a hotel for sure. Meals were local, great. Highly recommend this beautiful the school!🩷

Volunteering in Ha the school for a week was AMAZING! Ken, the lead behind all of this was so cooperative and flexible. I taught english to locals who are aspiring tour guides + drivers, looking to improve their English and meet their goals. I got to interact with the local students, learn about the culture, and even embarked on a 3 day tour of the Ha the school Loop which was eye opening! Highly recommend this opportunity for anyone who's looking to step out their comfort zone!

My experience with Ken and his family was really good. I felt very welcome and I experienced a lot of flexibility regarding the tasks. If you want you can get to know the travel agency and how it works. Its also nice to help with dishes if you can, as there is always a lot to do. I appreciate that I just had one or two students at once. So it was more easy to manage the teaching. We always had delicious traditional meals together and I learned a lot about the Vietnamese way of life. I recommend fully to volunteer at Infinity Ha the school Loop! I am really thankful for my experience 🙏🏼

There are no enough words to say how incredible and fulfilling has been this experience. I volunteered here for 3 weeks. I taught 2 students of 18 and 20 years old. They will be easy riders in the future and learning english it means having a real chance to have a good work. Ken the host is amazing, his family and he made me feel at home and the work he does for the local people is stunning! I have basically lived with ken family and the students every day, sharing funny moments and teaching lessons twice a day. I left the homestay full of love and hope for my students! See you soon Ken!
