Maison Chance is looking for qualified volunteers who have
professional experience in the fields of mission defined below.
The duration of the stay in Vietnam should be at least 6
months. The candidate needs to demonstrate flexibility and availability, as
well as an excellent ability to adapt. All our volunteers must take Vietnamese
courses before they begin their volunteer assignments, in order to familiarize
themselves with a language quite different from their native one.
For practical reasons, we are not able to welcome trainees.
Maison
Chance proposes the following missions:
Language teaching: French and English are taught at
the Take Wings Center.
French is taught to our handicapped participants and to the
staff. The students are divided into classes according to their levels, from
beginner to advanced.
English is taught to the children, most of whom are
beginners. There also is an evening class at the Maison Chance shelter for the
handicapped participants.
Vocational training: The fields of the vocational
training are sewing, drawing, data processing and working with bamboo. These
courses are provided to handicapped participants and street children.
Note: A good knowledge of Vietnamese is required in order to
teach computer skills.
Medical field: Medical work at Maison Chance
includes management of the pharmacy and medication, providing care and
treatment of bedsores, urinary infections, as well as small problems of
everyday life. This work is performed in collaboration with the referring
doctor of Maison Chance.
The majority of the patients are para- or quadriplegic
teenagers or adults. We welcome doctors, nurses as well as occupational and
physical therapists.
This list of missions is not exhaustive. We are currently reviewing
all the proposals and input received.
