Vietnam details

Just some more details about the upcoming trip to Nam.

Project 1- is with a group called 'Hands for Hope' located Near Ninh Thuan (just south of Nha Trang). There we will be constructing school rooms in a poor community and teaching English to the School children. (If they're smart they'll put me on teaching cos' I give the life anything I've built only a couple of days!).

Bike Ride- 5 days bike riding in the Mekong Delta (I'm slowly becoming more confident in my ability to suck it up and push throught the enevitable pain.)

Project 2- with 'Initiatives of Change' and located near to HCMC (Ho Chi Min)
Work is not yet finalised, but likely to include construction of community facilities.


There is also a request for Money to buy school equipment for the community at project 1. So if interested in making a donation let me know. (might see if I can org an offering a church.)

    So there you go, the three of you can all follow in the footsteps of Jimmy and wield a hammer for a good cause.

    Do the students know any english? Do you need to have basic Vietnamese language skills? Is it all by osmosis, and they absorb this weird language around them, or is there some interaction between the two languages?

    So what distance have you worked yourself up to, or you just doing small stints on the bike, mixed in with other things?

    What type of equipment are they buying for the schools? What amount of money are they needing? - Better get in quick if you want anything at church.
