Volunteering in Vietnam

Hey guys! As most of you already know, I will be in South East Asia at the end of 2012 and have been offered the amazing opportunity of working with the Global Volunteering Network (GVN) on their Children's Programme in Vietnam.

GVN manages over 25 different community projects in vulnerable and developing countries across the globe. The Children's Programme that I will be volunteering with works with orphans, street children and mentally/physically disabled children in a range of orphanages throughout Vietnam.  

The aim of this programme is to provide these children with the support, education and life skills necessary to ensure their future is free from poverty. I will be helping to provide this by teaching them basic English, providing basic health care and showing them love and support for one month in the Ba Vi orphanage.

However in order to participate in this life changing experience I need to fundraise enough money to pay for all the associated programme fees. I ran a 10k mini marathon in Newcastle, UK on 22nd July 2012 in order to raise money for this.

Any donation you can make to sponsor me and ultimately help the Children's Programme in Vietnam would be greatly appreciated. All monies raised will be allocated to the programme including any surplus donations received.

This donation page will stay open until 26th August 2012 to allow for further donations if you so wish to contribute. Thank you in advance for taking the time to read this and for any donation you wish to make.
