Adrie, Lee & Urica climb Mount Fansipan for Charity - March 18-20, 2019
Fundraising for Saigon Children's Charity CIO
Story
Saigon Children's Charity CIO (http://www.saigonchildren.com/) has a mission to "enable disadvantaged children and young adults in Vietnam to reach their full potential through receiving a quality education." In support of this organisation, we are raising money to build and repair schools in the Mekong Delta.
How are we doing this? We are climbing Mount Fansipan, the highest mountain in the Indochinese Peninsula. Nicknamed the "Roof of Indochina" its peak reaches 3,143 meters (10,312ft). We will hike over two days to demonstrate our commitment to this worthwhile cause.
This cause couldn't be any closer to our hearts. From as early as we can remember, our parents instilled in us a passion for education and made sure we had every chance to succeed. As teachers, we strive every day to build that same confidence in our students. As residents of Vietnam, we are witnesses to the poverty of this developing country and do what we can to give back to the community and raise awareness.
This climb is another way we hope to make an impact on a someone's future, and to say thank you to the people of Vietnam.
Our goal is $1,500 but every $1 counts. Please give what you can. No amount is too small. And thank you!
