About the project
WARM CHRISTMAS FOR DISADVANTAGED CHILDREN
📝 Detailed information
🏢 About the local organisation
Solidarités Jeunesses Vietnam (SJ Vietnam) is an international youth NGO (Non-Governmental Organization) which aims at connecting international and Vietnamese volunteers to work with the most in-need communities. SJ Vietnam was set up in 2004 with the coordination of Mr. Piere de Hanscutter and Ms. Do Thi Phuc.
SJ Vietnam is a full member of CCIVS (Coordinating Committee for International Voluntary Service – UNESCO) and NVDA (Network for Voluntary Development in Asia). It is also a partner of YAP (Youth Action for Peace) and Alliance. International exchanges are managed exclusively within our network of Vietnamese and international partners. Up to now, SJ Vietnam has brought 6,000 volunteers worldwide and across the country to help the children and youngsters from low-income families access better education and proper treatment.
💼 What the programme involves
We - SJ Vietnam - try our very best to “bring” Santa Clause to the disadvantage children (orphans, disabled, intellectual, hospital patients, the homeless and the poor). Children can be born in different situation but they need to live in an equal environment and we are here to create that environment. Volunteers will share their traditional customs.
