Vietnam and Nepal are great places to travel to and GVN has two tour
opportunities for those who would like to join a small team of
volunteers with the added benefits of additional supervision and a
scheduled itinerary.
The Vietnam Youth Tour
Designed with 15-17 year olds in mind, this program has been created
to allow teens the chance to take part in the Vietnam Orphanage program
starting 9th July 2012.
This tour gives teens the opportunity to
experience another culture, and foster personal growth, whilst caring
for babies and children in orphanages, working with disabled children
and sharing English skills.
Stephanie, a past Youth Tour participant says "My experience of the YT
has been amazing. There hasn't been one day where I haven't wanted to
jump out of bed and get straight to work. It's a fantastic opportunity
for young people to go out and make a difference even if it's just a
small one like making a child's life that tiny bit better even for just
one day. It really makes you think of everything you take for granted
and makes you want to help for the rest of your life."

The Nepal Young at Heart (50+) Tour
This tour has been designed for mature volunteers who are over the
age of 50 years old, still feel young at heart, and are ready for their
next adventure!
During the 10 day tour starting on 4th May 2012,
volunteers will have the opportunity to participate within a variety of
projects. Volunteers will assist by organizing activities for children,
and teaching basic English.
This tour truly allows the volunteers to experience Nepal through the
culture, cuisine, lifestyle and children in the heart of Nepal. You
will eat traditional Nepali food, observe village culture and get a
general feel for local life while continuing with your Nepali language
and cultural lessons. Volunteers are placed individually into local host
families.
This is a fantastic way
to get more out of a short trip to Nepal is being placed with a Nepali
family for your stay. Taking in true culture and resulting in an overall
more exciting way to experience Nepal.
As
well as tours to different cultural and ancient sites included in the
ten day trip. As your time in Nepal falls on Buddha Jiyanti (Buddha’s
birthday), a walking tour has been arranged for the whole Young at Heart
tour to visit the Golden Buddha. Opportunities to visit other museums
and ancient sites including Patan (also known as Lalitpur) are included
in your itinerary.
