About the project

TAKING CARE OF AND INTERACTING WITH BLIND KIDS

📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

Huynh De Nhu Nghia shelter is a charity organization founded in 1993, financed by donors and the religious orders, where around 50 female blind kids from 5-18 years old are living. All the kids come from poor family around Vietnam, not only from Ho Chi Minh city. They study in normal school and follow some special courses with tutor at the shelter such as music, sport, IT (basic about computer) and even martial art to help them being more confident and able to self-protect. The most difficulty for the kids comes when they finish high school with only two options, or go to vocational center for blind or come back their home town which is impossible for their future.

💼 What the programme involves

Organize activities for the kids (games, songs), teach English for the nurse and kids, do some gardening and re-decorate for the garden and their living place as they don't have many staff to take care of everything.

🏠 Accommodation on site

Volunteers will stay in basic accommodation at the guesthouse. Western style bathrooms, wifi are available. Meals are provided at a local restaurant nearby the site.
