Story

I've been honored to call Vietnam home for nearly five years. This is a truly amazing country filled with wonderful people. But there is still a lot of poverty and a lot of Children that can't get the right start in life. 

CIO funds a group of amazing charities that help give underprivileged kids the right start in life and keep them out of the hands of sex traffickers. Charities like Koto that takes kids off the streets, house them, and educate them. When the kids reach working age Koto train them in all areas of F&B. Once they are trained Koto help them find jobs in good restaurants and hotels. The passion these guys have for what they do and the results they get are truly inspiring.  

So I'll be joining the team in Hue and biking the 1,100 km back to HCMC to help give back back to the community. My personal target is to raise at least $2,000 to support the local homeless children to give them a fighting chance to fully realize their potential.

To all my wonderful friends, many of whom are self made successful business people, please dig deep. These are truly special charities. 

Big love and thanks to all that support either financially or thought sharing supporting and helping spread the word.
