[Vnbiz] Fwd: new workcamps in June

Thu Apr 12 16:00:34 PDT 2007

Dear Dieu,

Pls write to chi Ngoc Dung dlily2000 at yahoo.com or vnymca at hcm.vnn.vn
<mailto:vnymca at hcm.vnn.vn> for workcamp information. If you are interested,
contact them ASAP because they need your concrete confirmation. In short,
Vietnamese volunteers don't have to pay any fee to join these, and your role
is participating into all workcamp activities with American students and
helping as much as you can. :p (I don't know how to put them all together!).
You can help to paint walls, carry tables, paint doors, windows, cook, or
interpret for Vietnamese children and American students, etc. - mostly just
enjoy it and present your interesting self among other multi-culture
participants. :)

I participated in a workcamp in 2004 December with Wake Forest University
for 2 weeks. We helped to build 2 classroom for Long Thanh 3 Primary School
in a remoted village in Can Tho, and we brought book for the school's
library. We stayed in a research station of Can Tho University where 8 girls
shared one big room and we learned to live in "Dong bang song Cuu Long
style" for a week. Have you attracted? :) - There were lots of mosquitoes I
was into fight with them everyday. And look at the coming workcamp this time
- right in the rainy season, make sure you'll get prepared. :)

We worked at site under bright sun in the daytime and we shared our
impressions, our feelings, mostly jokes and laughter when we get back to the
station from "work" - "Work" includes painting walls, carrying rocks,
painting tables, windows, doors-etc etc-and playing with the kids coming to
see you work at the site. Make sure you work really well or they'll return
you home in a pig-carrier!!!

Some got really sick because of weather and food, and everything else - but
we were "cool" after all.

The last 7 days we were traveling to Hoi An, Hue and Quang Binh. Uhm, that
was it. Join if you can and if you want.

Cheers,

PS.: Mary, I cc this to you so you can correct me if my memory has become
bad. xx

Dear Nhung,

Thanks for your shared information. I would love to do some volunteer work
like this when I am back in VN this summer. However, I would really want to
know more about the details of the program. Do you have any material
concerning the budget, initaries, housing, characteristics... of the
program. In addition, since you indicated that you have enjoyed previous
experiences with the camp, would you like to share with us some of the
memories and thoughts while doing the program. I think they would be very
moving and interesting to us. 

Best,

Dieu
