Yes! The facilitation sessions are compulsory and are conducted on a weekly basis. This is essential prior to the trip so that participants are able to plan and execute the Youth Expedition Project (YEP) with ease and confidence.

Additionally, basic Vietnamese language would be taught to the participants to ensure that individuals are able to fluently converse basic greetings with the locals in Dai Chanh Commune. 

Unless a valid reason is provided, facilitation sessions are compulsory.

The time is the same as previous years, from 7pm onwards.

Living conditions are good and definitely habitable. 

Not to worry about sanitary conditions as there is a proper plumbing system at the place we are heading to, and the home that we are residing in. 

7. How much do we need to pay to participate in this project?

The cost that every participant must contribute is S$500. 

This includes airfare, transport within Vietnam (private van), provision of basic cookware as well as food within the village. 

This is a very small sum for a 3 week YEP as compared to other YEPs. 

We hope to see you on the team!
