Children and youth in rural areas of Vietnam often lead simple lifestyles, with limited access to knowledge about the outside world, hindering their ability to discover and develop their true potential. After two successful visits in 2025, HKUST Connect continues its partnership with ECO Vietnam Group (EVG) and is excited to launch the third Service Learning Trip to Vietnam in June 2026. This trip aims to further support education and youth development in Tra Vinh province in the Mekong Delta.

EVG is a non-governmental, non-profit organization based in Vietnam, dedicated to delivering genuine benefits to local communities. Acting as a trusted bridge between volunteers, sponsors, and disadvantaged groups—including ethnic minorities in remote areas—EVG strives to improve the quality of life through authentic community projects.

Volunteers will dive into a rich cultural exchange, teaching local students while immersing themselves in Vietnam’s vibrant traditions. Through hands-on activities, meaningful interactions, and self-reflection, you’ll not only empower children and youth but also gain a deeper understanding of the local community. Get ready to be a part of this transformative journey and make a lasting impact with us!

You will be able to:

• Empower Vietnamese children and youth through various teaching activities and workshops
• Engage in cultural exchange and explore different aspects of the Vietnamese community
• Accelerate personal growth through self-reflection
• Share your experiences during and after the service trip to spread a caring message within the HKUST campus

Join us for the "Vietnam Service Learning Journey" and share your knowledge with local students while exploring the Vietnamese community!
