| Seit Sommer 2007 arbeiten wir mit Volunteers for Peace Vietnam (VPV) zusammen. Die Organisation richtet seit mehreren Jahren Workcamps aus und kann daher schon auf wertvolle Erfahrungen in der Organisation von Workcamps zurückgreifen. | |
Wir empfehlen den Abschluss einer Auslandskrankenversicherung. Für die Einreise nach Vietnam wird ein Visum benötigt! Vorerfahrungen mit Workcamps und / oder Südostasien sind sinnvoll, aber nicht unbedingt notwendig. Wir empfehlen weniger erfahrenen Freiwilligen die Teilnahme an einer unserer Vorbereitungsveranstaltungen. | |
Vietnam VPV 02-12 Ky Quang Orphanage 13.02.-25.02.2012 KIDS/SOCI/EDU 15vols
Ky Quang Orphanage is run by Ky Quang Pagoda, which was built in the early part of the 20th Century in 1924 and is quite famous in Ho Chi Minh City. The pagoda is now a place of charity for unlucky children and also helps to treat diseases. Now, the pagoda is taking care and bringing up more than 200 children in the South of Vietnam. The children here have unfortunate backgrounds as many have been abandoned by their parents and relatives. Every few months, the monks find a new baby left in front of the pagoda gate. The head monk sometimes receives phone calls from hospitals requesting him to take in abandoned babies. At the moment, about 200 children are living in the Pagoda, their ages ranging from 5 days old to 40 years old. 90 of these are orphans that are suffering from cerebral-palsy, blindness or Down's syndrome. At present, about 30-40 local children have a chance to study at Ky Quang as some local teachers teach Vietnamese for them in the morning.
