Dear Rock-Paper-Scissor’s Friends,
Happy soon to be Holidays and Giving Tuesday! Giving Tuesday is coming up next week on Tuesday, November 27th! We would love your help with sharing the word about the wonderful Vietnamese kids you have been supporting this year and past years! Nothing is greater than providing support like this to help us keep our after school art and music programs alive, and of course our summer arts camp for over 120 children living in the remote and very much underserved village of Son Tan. These photos were taken during our summer 2018 camp.
Every year our wonderful music teachers and students from Cam Duc Village volunteer their time to help us run our summer music and art camp in the village of Son Tan, an ethnic minority community segregated from the mainstream of Vietnam life. Spending six days as counselors, they play music and games with the 120-150 kids who attend. Huy, one of our former violin students and now one of our teachers, is especially wonderful with the children and so enthusiastic at leading camp games. And there is Tuan, another one of our music teachers, who puts on a tremendous, musical puppet show for the children. Our music students and volunteers sing and play their instruments for the children as well.
You have so kindly helped to support all of these kids and we could not have built this community of young musicians and artists over these past six years without you. Your support of our music program has provided an opportunity for these kids to grow up together, have fun together, and share in all of the hardships and joy that come along with their often difficult daily lives.
If you would like to contribute to our program again this year, please help us on Giving Tuesday, November 27th to gain matching funds from GlobalGiving who will also be helping small non-profits like us to continue to do our work around the world! If you are unable to make a contribution again, please consider sharing our Facebook page with your friends on that day to let them know about our work in Vietnam!
Thank you as always,
Sara
