More than a year ago, I was lucky to have the opportunity to come to Mai Chau, which is around an hour by car from my place. It’s a volunteer trip hosted by my university’s student association. The place is a mountainous area, so it was very spacious, with many trees and fresh air. I experienced numerous interesting activities there, such as teaching and organizing games for local children, planting trees, cooking and so on. Actually, at first, I went just for the purpose of getting a certificate in social activities since it would be beneficial for me when applying for scholarships, but then I realized I actually learned a lot of things from the trip. I met many new friends and I’m more confident and active now. Before, I always thought of myself as an unlucky person, but after coming here, I can see that I am way luckier than many people. Although living in a very difficult area, they always stay happy, friendly, and optimistic. That’s why I am so grateful for this trip and in the future, I would love to have a chance like this again.
