Hi guys,
This is Nga from Logistics Department. I am sure you guys are wondering what the heck I am doing here in this message. ^_^. Just a quick note to inform you that HOW IS COMING BACK THIS MAY/ JUNE. You guys feel excited yet???
For those who are still wondering who HOW is, let me give you a brief introduction of this organization. Helping Orphans Worldwide (HOW) is a non-profit organization working for the basic rights and benefits of the children in derived areas of the world. Their current programs in Vietnam are:
- Feeding Orphans Worldwide. HOW addresses the nutritional needs of children living in various orphanages throughout Vietnam. HOW identifies needs, purchases food and nutritional supplements, and hand delivers supplies to ensure proper distribution of goods.
- CHAP (Children’s Healing Arts Program). HOW is committed to enhancing the mental and emotional well-being of these children beyond the basic needs of food and hygiene. Through HOW’s CHAP program, children are able to spend one-on-one time with volunteers, allowing them to express themselves through art, music and dance. This will be an ongoing project for HOW.
- Helping to build a sustainable future. HOW is committed to developing self-sustaining programs that seek to educate, empower and have positive and lasting impacts on the lives of needy children and their communities. With this goal in mind, HOW is developing road building projects to improve access in to and out of rural orphanages and clean water projects to improve the health and well-being of the children who live in them. Education can provide a path to self-sufficiency for many orphaned children. HOW is working to improve access to education by providing a broad range of elementary and vocational textbooks that will create opportunities and enhance the learning experience.
Last year, HOW made some interesting trips to Vietnam, visiting the orphanages and joining the Mid Autumn events of our Free Hugs Vietnam with our lovely members and they totally loved that.
