Vision
Travellers who have a greater sense of responsibility, caring and awareness.

Goal
HOVV’s goal is to provide meaningful experiences to travellers by combining fun, education and volunteering in their vacations.

What type of activities can I join?

To enhance the traveller’s experience, HOVV’s projects are classified into three themes:

Environment
Volunteer activities are aimed at raising awareness about environmental issues and for them to contribute a portion of their vacation in saving the planet Earth, whilst enjoying the beauty of Mother Nature.

Livelihood
Volunteer activities will provide travellers an experiential trip to the countryside by living and working in the community with the locals and learn about the daily life in the community.

Heritage
Volunteer activities are aimed at preserving and restoring historical sites. Travellers will be learning about the history and cultures of the community.
Projects will engage travellers to experience, interact and learn about the community, history, people and culture.
