My Nonprofit Reviews

My volunteer experience with Youthlinc in Vietnam this year was nothing short of amazing! Vietnam is a beautiful country with the most hardworking and loving people you will ever meet. I had the privilege to work closely with a group of women in Song Cao who were ready and willing to learn how to sew. Even with 4 sewing machines which continued to break down and cramped quarters, 15 women and counting eagerly showed up each morning and afternoon. I loved watching them teach each other what they'd learned and help one another with the machines.
We ran into road blocks along the way regarding where the machines would go after we left and who would get to use them, but the women's dedication to each other and the project motivated me to work hard and fight for their rights' to the machines. The most gratify moment came when the women were granted to keep the machines and continue work on them together. They erupted into a cheer upon hearing the news! I'm so grateful to Youthlinc for giving me this experience. I'll never forget my friends in Vietnam and will carry them in heart forever.
