One gets filled with happiness and humility to people who are devoted and enthusiastic about helping others. And there are many of these people here in Vietnam. Wednesday I met with people from three organisations. People who deserves the greatest respect and who contradicts Ayn Rands theory, that mans only purpose in life is to secure his own survival.
If it wasnt for our own need of financial support I would gladly recommend to support these organisations.
B.T.W. Daniel and I are now in Hanoi. From Wednesday to Friday we are going to have meetings with different local NGOs and we are going to participate in the Child Rights Working Group meeting on Thursday at the NGO Resource Centre in Hanoi.The overall purpose of my trip to Hanoi is to inform Hanoi based NGOs about the Child Sexual Abuse Prevention program that we have developed and also about the Social & Emotional Learning material.
I managed to get a meeting with the Vietnamese Institute of Educational Science. They already received a copy of our Social & Emotional Learning material. So lets see what this meeting brings.
Back to the devoted and enthusiastic people:
From the morning I met with Mr. Dung and Ms. Dung from REACH Center in Hanoi. They are a Vietnamese NGO. Originally part of Plan International but now an independent NGO. They are doing high quality vocational training for disadvantged adolescent and they make job placement for them. They do a very good job. www.reach.org.vn
After that I met with THE grand old lady of INGO work in Vietnam. Mrs. Margrit Schlosser. She is a Swiss lady who is now retired, but has been the country manager for TdH Switzerland for many years in Vietnam. She also was the Co-director of NGO Resource Centre. She is now retired, but much of all the good NGO work that is going on in Vietnam today, we can thank her for.
Last but certainly not least we met with Michael Brosowski from Blue Dragon. An Australian teacher who has commited his life to help the disadvantaged children of Vietnam and who has build up one of the most impacting and respectable NGOs in Vietnam. They help for street children and other disadvantaged children. They actively help to rescue children who have been trafficked. They provide shelter, life skill training, education and vocational training. I learned a lot at that meeting and got inspiration for our work in HCMC. They started out to foreigners teaching English to street children, and now there is an effective organisation with 64 highly skilled employees. I hope the Vietnamese authorities gives this organisation the gratitude it deserves. Michaels caring attitude and commitment is highly inspiring. He must be a model for all NGO people all over the world. At least he is for me now. www.bluedragon.org.
Unfortunately, I didnt bring my camera but search the web for more information.
