Embassy meets Irish young people volunteering in Vietnam

Embassy meets Irish young people volunteering in Vietnam

The Embassy of Ireland in Hanoi was delighted to welcome a group of 10 Irish volunteers, who undertook a four-week voluntary programme in Vietnam. The group came to Vietnam under the Irish Aid-funded youth exchange programme between SERVE - an Irish development and volunteering organisation, and the Centre for Sustainable Development Studies.

The group met with Ambassador Cáit Moran and learnt about the Embassy’s work in Vietnam and shared their experience of volunteering in Vietnam.
