Trip to VN

A trip to VN for the first time since 2007 will take place on February 4.  Over 50 VN kids will be connected with over 150 USA kids by video phone conference and more.

Thanks to our Cincinnati Friends

The June golf Tournament in Cincinnati was a major success.  Old high school and college friends came out to enjoy some golf and support Think About the Children.  The funds are being placed in A Luoi village to support the families in our school.  It is not firm yet, but there is a good chance we will start a Eucalyptus farm in the shadows of Hamburger Hill.

We’re hoping for a good year.

The current recession, which is being called “The Great Recession” in the USA is effecting all charities.  Think About the Children is in the middle of an upsurge.  Golf tournaments are getting organized.  Businesses are supporting our work.  We have provided assistance to Operation Rebound, a charity that helps amputee Iraq and Afghanistan veterans find a normal life through athletic competition.  It looks like the next 12 months will be our best ever.  We look forward to the spring when we will support more veterans and make a major impact on the village of A Luoi with additions to our school.

Think About the Children has built three libraries and a school in Viet Nam.  The school is supported by three micro-loans to the village of A Luoi, near Hamburger Hill.
