Vietnam visa on arrival for volunteering in Chile

Hello I am from Chile. I am coming to Vietnam in January 2013 for 3 weeks. I will be spending 2 weeks in Kon Tum volunteering by teaching English and will then be going to Hanoi for a 1 week vacation. The organizer of the Volunteer program said to purchase the Business Visa for Vietnam. Does my going to Hanoi for a 1 week vacation after the 2 week Volunteer program affect this? so should I still purchase a Business Visa to Vietnam? Thank You
