Having been an orphan at the end of the Vietnam War in April 1975 and arriving to Australia in a carboard box at 3 months old, my wife Anne and I are heading back on the 50th anniversary to the orphanage where I came from in Soc Trang. Approximately 1,300 orphans were airlifted throughout the world.
Anne & I will be doing a 280km bike ride from Saigon to Soc Trang to raise money to be able to give care packages to the poor elderly people on the way. We will also be giving out DNA kits to mothers that gave away their child during the war, in hope for a better life for them. DNA kits are too expensive for the poor to afford and therefore makes any hope of finding their children very minimal.
Your donation will go to buying DNA testing kits ($60 approx), care packages ($50) and building a home for the elderly ($7,700).
Whether you can afford $5, $10, $20 or $50.....whatever you can afford goes a loooooong way in such a poor country.
A great cause. Good luck and safe travels.
