Founded in 2017, the Smile Volunteer Team (often referred to as “Smile”) began with a humble project: providing free meals to those in need. Over the past six years, our dedicated members, driven by a passion for making a positive impact, have expanded significantly achieved meaningful results and touched thousands of lives.

SMILE Volunteer Team
JOY TO SCHOOL
Smile partners with a selected school (chosen after thorough research and discussions with local authorities and school leaders) for 2–3 years. We focus on providing essential infrastructure and basic learning materials for the students, ensuring they have a conducive environment for education.
Mid-autumn festivals for kids
We bring the joy and warmth of the Mid-Autumn Festival to children and vulnerable communities. This program includes organizing a day of fun and meaningful activities for the children at the partnered school, and also provides scholarships and school supplies at the beginning of the new school year.
Warm Tet, Happy Spring
Similar to the Mid-Autumn Festival for Kids, the Warm Tet, Happy Spring program is broader in scope, aiming to support those in need, particularly vulnerable communities and disadvantaged children. We strive to bring a warm and fulfilling Tet holiday to those who need it most.
