 Better than just read about the programs, why not come and see for yourself? We find we are extremely fortunate to live with a fantastic team and to spend much time in the villages. This gives a lot of energy to pursue and to do more. We invite you to do a mission: visit, and promise to support us by telling others what you have seen (see the charter of the visitor ).
We work in the 2 different regions of Vietnam: near the mountains of Bình Thuân, next to the sea, and in the Mekong delta. Plus on the other side of the Cambodian border, in a totally different cultural and political context.
Several options for your visit:
| Module 1: 1 to 3 days |
|
Departure from Saigon towards Bình Thuân (3 hours): visit ultra poor households who managed to get out of poverty, rabbit farms, vegetable gardens, new techniques for paddy -less chemicals but more profits, biogas systems, quilt handicrafts, production of incense sticks, action theatre for better hygiene, waste recycling, cashew nuts and fair trade… Share the life of the teams, stay in a local inn (clean and air-conditionned). Return to Saigon or move to the beach on the China Sea.
|
| Module 2: 3 days |
|
Departure from Saigon towards the Mekong (7 hours), stay in a local inn. Meet peasant households, pig farms, eal and worm farms: how the extremely poor, who survived with 2 euros/week, managed to improve their condition with micro credit. Health education in primary schools. The peasants build bridges and small roads to connect their village with the markets, the school etc. Action theatre against alcoholism...
