Event: Saigon Children's Charity 2014 cycle
We work exclusively in Vietnam since 1992 to help remove barriers to education.

Story

Education is the most important foundation in the life of any person. SCC has been working in Vietnam since 1992 to try and provide this essential element for hundreds of disadvantaged children each year. SCC offers scholarships for kindergarten right through to college and university, supporting students throughout. $150 can support a child in high school, while $250 can provide vocational training.

In late November I will be cycling in a group between Hue and Hoi An in Central Vietnam. We hope to cover some 300km in three days. Hope is the operative word! I hope the weather will be cooler (but not wet), the roads will be flat and my legs will take me further than ever before.

If you would be kind enough to sponsor me then not only will my hope rise a little higher, but so will that of many disadvantaged children in Vietnam who can benefit enormously and directly from your contribution. I would encourage any of you who visit Vietnam to drop by and spend time with the staff of the SCC to appreciate the important work they undertake with such dedication.

Thank you for your support.
