Daniel and I drove to the shelter at 8 o'clock in the morning. I had some good conversation on planing the next fund raising activities and about the new report method that should apply more to the needs of private donors than that of DANIDA.
Contact to Daniels family
Ms. Mai the deputy manager helped us making contact to Daniels biological family in North Vietnam, and we are now planing a visit. They were very happy to hear from us, and we certainly also look forward to meet them again.
Meeting with Saigon Children Charity
2pm Ms. Mai, Daniel and I drove to a very interesting meeting with Saigon Children Charity. They are in the process of setting up new support project for 3 shelters for physically disabled children. They wanted to use our social skill material, which is a state of the art material in Vietnam. In addition to that they also wanted to have some training in appreciative inquiry. Many teachers and caretakers in remote area schools and shelters dont have any pedagogical education so they often need the basic skills. Sometimes the caretakers use violence because of the lacking skills.
Unfortunately we dont have a training course for that, but I most try to get something translated so we can help them.
Spreading the word and making fundraising
When Ms. Mai and her colleagues can do some training for other NGOs or social units like shelters or orphanages, they can use the profit to support their own shelter. And at the same time they spread the good social skill method to a lot of other institutions in Vietnam.
The picture is from this meeting. From the right: Sister Bich, Ms. Hien from SCC, Ms. Mai and the ugliest man in Vietnam at the moment: Me.
