Volunteering in Vietnam!

I am Mary, a Social Work Team Manager from South Devon. I am raising money to travel from my home in Newton Abbot to Da Nang in Vietnam on 1st April 2024 so that I can volunteer for a month with a project that supports children with disabilities - there is an orphanage, a school and a residential home. I will be helping to care for the children across the three settings and contributing to the projects training and development programme by sharing some of my skills and experience.

This is completely out of my comfort zone, I am a home bird and have only been on a plane twice in my life and one of those trips was to Scotland! It will take me two full days to travel each way and lots of courage to be able to navigate big and busy airports.

The project is charging £1400 to cover my board and lodgings and then I need to pay for flights and travel insurance on top.

So….my amazing friends, family and colleagues, I am seeking your emotional, practical and financial support to make this trip a reality. Once I am over in Vietnam I will take lots of photos and videos of what I get up to so that you can see my adventures!!
