Volunteer Travel

Imagine seeing the highlights of Vietnam’s mountainous hill-tribe region, while helping disadvantaged communities build a school. Or teaching English to orphans in Cambodia. This is such a unique and rewarding way to experience a new culture and country.

Binh Luc orphanage is an example of community project in much need of volunteers, visitors and external support. Established in 1990, the Binh Luc Orphanage provides a home for 41 children aged between 6 and 15.

As the patron sponsor of Binh Luc orphanage in the Ha Nam province (50km from Hanoi), Buffalo Tours has recently implemented a nutritional program for the children of Binh Luc. The nutritional program involves funding for protein, vegetables and fruits to specifically increase the daily nutritional intake of each child. This program is monitored with tri-monthly height, weight and measurement checks of each child.

The children of Binh Luc come from disadvantaged agricultural communities. In many cases the families cannot afford to raise or educate the children and are forced to abandon them. With limited assistance from the local government, the orphanage relies heavily on donations and sponsorship. The most urgent requirements being nutrition - followed by education.

To generate further awareness and funding for the orphanage, Buffalo Tours has a community project scheme in place, where travelers can volunteer their time to assist in the orphanage. Depending on time and availability, volunteers may be involved in English language learning, preparing nutritional meals or building learning facilities and educational resources.

Volunteers tend to have a sense of adventure, and come from a range of different backgrounds and from all over the world. Placements can be arranged from one day up to several months, on a small-scale or on-going grassroots projects. We can arrange small group volunteer tours or create a specialized journey involving a longer volunteer placement.

The experience promises to be interactive, philanthropic, educational and uplifting in every sense.

“Overall we are very pleased so far with our trip. We are impressed with Buffalo Tours staff and organization. We appreciate that our guide Thang and our driver were always on time, friendly, professional, and took care of us very well. Thang inparticular impressed us with his excellent English and obvious intelligence and cultural knowledge. He has a good personality, good sense of humor and was willing to talk frankly about life in Vietnam. We felt very comfortable and happy with him as our guide”
