As many as 10 volunteers from the Republic of Korea (RoK) arrived at Noi Bai international airport, Hanoi, on July 27, bringing the number of RoK volunteers in Vietnam to 84.
It is the second arrival of RoK volunteers to Vietnam this year under a framework agreement on grant aid between the two governments, said the Korea International Cooperation Agency (KOICA).
The volunteers will work for educational institutions and hospitals to help in Korean teaching, preschool education and healthcare.
The College of Foreign Languages and the College of Social Science and Humanities under the Vietnam National Universities in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City and Hong Bang International University are among volunteer destinations.
They will also provide services for Vinh Ling Hospital in the war-torn central province of Quang Tri, Dang Thuy Tram Hospital in Quang Ngai province, also in the central region, and Son La Sanatorium Rehabilitation Hospital in the northern mountainous province of the same name.
The volunteers will initially spend eight weeks intensively studying Vietnamese language and culture. They will also be provided with information on socio-economic and political development as well as customs in Vietnam in order to quickly adapt themselves to the local working environment.
Their terms of services will officially begin on September 18, 2010 and expire on July 27, 2012.
Since the first dispatch of RoK volunteers to Vietnam in 1994, KOICA has sent over 400 Korean volunteers to 26 cities and provinces across the country.
With RoK volunteer assistance, Vietnamese KOICA aid executives have managed to carry out 59 projects worth over 1 billion USD in the interest of socio-economic development./.
