Embracing Vietnamese Culture: Nele's Journey as a Volunteer at HaUI
Six months ago, Nele, a passionate volunteer from Germany, set foot in Vietnam to teach English at Hanoi University of Industry (HaUI). In this short period, she has adapted seamlessly to her new environment and woven herself into the vibrant tapestry of Vietnamese culture. Nele's experiences at HaUI have been filled with memorable moments, making her feel like a cherished member of the Vietnamese family.
Adapting to Vietnam
Nele's journey began with the intention of sharing her knowledge and love for the English language with students at HaUI. As a volunteer, she quickly adapted to the unique environment, embracing the cultural richness of Vietnam. Her commitment to teaching goes beyond the classroom, extending into the heart of Vietnamese traditions and celebrations.

Banh Chung Delight
One of Nele's unforgettable experiences was trying her hand at making banh chung, a traditional Vietnamese dish associated with the Lunar New Year, or Tet. The collaborative effort with students in creating this special treat not only provided Nele with a newfound appreciation for Vietnamese customs but also made her feel an integral part of the community. The joy of participating in such a cherished tradition resonated deeply with Nele, creating a bond that transcended language barriers.
"In Germany, we don't have such a tradition during Tet. Participating in making banh chung with the students created unforgettable memories and was an opportunity for me to learn many new things," Nele expressed with enthusiasm.

International Women's Day Celebration
As March unfolded, Nele found herself immersed in the unique celebrations of International Women's Day on March 8. Reflecting on her experiences, she expressed excitement about the vibrant atmosphere surrounding this special day in Vietnam. Nele engaged in conversations and sharing sessions with female students, marveling at their confidence, self-reliance, and independence in life.
Draped in a Vietnamese Ao Dai
Adding a touch of elegance to the festivities, Nele adorned the traditional Vietnamese ao dai, symbolizing grace and cultural appreciation. Her gentle presence in this traditional attire highlighted the harmony between her commitment to volunteerism and her respect for Vietnamese customs.

A Heartfelt Message to Women
As part of the International Women's Day celebrations, Nele extended her warm wishes and congratulations to the women around her. In a heartfelt message, she expressed her desire for all women, including herself, to be happy and experience the enduring joy of love.
Nele's journey as a female volunteer at Hanoi University of Industry is a testament to the power of cultural exchange and the warmth of the Vietnamese people. Her ability to seamlessly integrate into the local community, from making banh chung to celebrating International Women's Day, showcases the transformative nature of volunteerism. Nele's story highlights the shared moments of joy and underscores the beauty of diversity and mutual appreciation that defines the volunteer experience at HaUI.
