Overseas Community Involvement Projects-Overseas Service Learning Project
It is a program from Singapore? schools and Universities, in which, a group of elected and trained students are send to developing countries to do community projects. This is why OCIP is called Overseas Community Involvement Projects. From 2016, we making new project in Ben Tre province, Viet Nam and call is "Global Village Homestay".
Global Village Homestay is proud to be the host for these projects in Vietnam since we were first established in 2009. Together with our partners from Singapore, we have made more than 60 successful OSLs in poor regions and ethnic minority communities around Vietnam to make a better life and education in these areas.
2) Service Learning
Service-Learning (SL) is a method under which students or participants apply and develop what they have learnt in school through active participation in thoughtfully organized service that is conducted to meet certain needs of a community. In other words, in Service Learning, participants not only learn the practical applications of their studies, they also actively contribute to their community.
Global Village Homestay is the first Homestay Volunteer that introduced this method in Ho Chi Minh City then pick up the volunteers to Ben Tre province. We believe that every community service has to be accompanied by learning about the community?s needs and implementing our talents to further enhancement of future services. Many young people in the world served the community for wrong motivations, such as a good resume or simply looking for interesting activities. Global Village Homestay aims to change their mind-sets by imparting an understanding of the benefits of Service Learning Projects for their personal development and the community as well. With the never-ending supports from counterparts in Singapore, Global Village Homestay has managed to slowly, but surely; bring the concept of Service Learning to other NGOs, clubs, and some universities in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam and also in around the world!
