Story
Helloooo from Vietnam! Please sponsor me and help my little legs get through this!
Myself and 19 other brave souls will be cycling the length of Vietnam - Hanoi to Ho Chi Minh City (that's 1,200 miles!) to raise money for some great charities in Vietnam.
Our main charity is Saigon Children's Charity (SCC) which helps disadvantaged Vietnamese children to get an education and a fairer start in life.
Please donate as much or as little as you can, to give these little kids a long lasting opportunity to a better future. A little generosity really does go a long way here in Vietnam!
We our covering our own expenses so all donations will go directly to the charities mentioned below.
About the charities:
Saigon Children's Charity. The SCC aims to help disadvantaged children in Vietnam reach their full potential by receiving a quality education relevant to their needs. The SCC is distinguished for giving scholarships, building schools, running a vocational school in Saigon and working with other, smaller organisations that focus on children
with disabilities. They enable over 3,000 children to go to school every day in Vietnam! Its area of operation is in the south of Vietnam, around HCMC, the Mekong Delta and extending to the Cambodian border.
The ILA Community Network (ILACN). ILACN is a group of volunteers from ILA, a well-established English as a Second Language (ESL) institution. Their aim is to make a real difference to the lives of disadvantaged children in the local communities by sending donations to: The Green Bamboo Shelter (ex-street boys aged 7 – 18), Go Vap Orphanage (200+ orphaned children, mainly disabled), The Ung Buou Cancer Hospital (Children’s ward, upwards of 150 in-patients), The Little Rose Warm Shelter (vulnerable girls, aged 11 – 18) and the Bung Sang Blind Shelter. ILACN supports the centres
through regular fun days and trips out, teaching English, funding essential equipment, improvements and repairs, projects that improve the environments and prospects of disadvantaged children, enabling access to education and vocational training, raise awareness both in Vietnam and overseas.
