C. Sending Volunteers on Workcamps abroad
4 Countries have already received our volunteers on their national workcamps Thailand (July and Aug.05), Belgium (Sep. 05), France (Sept .05), Korea (Feb. 06), France (sept.06).
At this time around 30 countries are accessible to Vietnamese Volunteers. And each year more that one thousand projects are available…

D. Long Term Voluntarism:
A long term project is a little bit like a workcamp but longer (between 1 and 6 month). A high motivation is required from the volunteer. SJ Vietnam gives opportunity to foreign volunteers to join our long term project in Vietnam. SJ Vietnam also trough his network, also offers long term opportunities to Vietnamese volunteer to volunteer abroad for a low cost as possible: if possible we try to find a grant to pay a part of the travel cost…

SJ Vietnam is proudly a non-professional youth organization: the organization is completely managed by the young themselves with … professionalism. All the local and international activities are imagined and realized by the members together during their free times. SJ Vietnam is a youth organization for the Youth people BY the youth people.
All the SJ volunteers are non-paid, we work during on our free times for free because we believe in the goals of our projects and that’s the most import for us.
Feel free to join us, we need more volunteers!!
