Ever since I was 14 I have wanted to help orphans around the world. This is my first step in a lifelong ambition and a tiny contribution to making a better world. I hope you can join me.

This December I will be travelling to Vietnam and working voluntarily in an orphanage for 2 weeks+. During my placement I will be caring for orphaned babies and disabled children as well as teaching English to local village kids each day.

Update for 01/12/2010  1 December 2010

Hello All, Not long to go now - I leave for Vietnam in one week today and the GVN program commences on the 15th Dec. I'm very excited and looking forward to being involved from in country. I have started to receive friendly and inspiring emails from people at the GVN who have previously volunteered at Tam Ky (where I will be based) as well as previous volunteers involved in similar programs. They all comment on how beautiful the babies are and the delight of the younger children when they are being taught/are learning. I've never given teaching a go and I'm a bit nervous to be honest - - I hope they don't think of me like I thought of my grade 4 teacher...and a whole lot of others :) As it stands today we have raised an impressive $560USD! This is a tremendous effort and I thank all of you who have so kindly donated. For those of you who haven't and would like to you still can via my fundraising website: http://www.givealittle.co.nz/member/amexis I have tonight discovered that I can upload videos and personal photos to my fundraising site, in addition to posting my updates. Providing I can get an internet connection I'll be sure to use the site in this way so you too can share the experience. Love & Peace Ax ?
