"Many
people have mixed feelings when they hear the word “Vietnam”. There are
plenty of opinions about the Indochina/Vietnam/American War – use
whatever name relates to your country.This country has been invaded
numerous times and not because they attacked their neighbors but because
someone wanted Vietnam’s land to profit from the country’s resources.
Regardless of the politics, the children and the families are resilient
and tenacious.
It
only took two weeks in this beautiful country for me to fall in love
with the people, the land and of course the coffee is awesome! I have
been here over a year and plan to stay a few more years and help to
establish the idea of community centers at the local level. Vietnam has
community centers but they are run by the government and not very
“kid-friendly”.The concept of a Boys and Girls Club or YMCA/YWCA does
not exist in this area. Our home will be a pilot project to work out the
kinks.
"Our home" - I have support here on the ground but I choose to keep their identities anonymous."
