Hi Richard,

Thank you for raising it up!
I researched about it for someone who want to donate dental supplies for orphanages in HCMc.
I visited 2 charity organizations.
I called few others.

I were trying to find a charity organization which need help the most.
Some are two "famous" and receive lots of favors while some aren't. (even volunteer-tourism style)

From what people in organizations I contacted told me, for foreigners who want to do volunteering activities here,
they need to register with authority. (I'm asking for more info regarding this).

And what do you mean about short trip? Do you mean a trip go out of HCMc?

Thanks for the respond. Yes...we find the homes that need the most help that we can visit. We wish to entertain, hold party, games , cleaning  etc . Everyone. .please collect info and we will confirm everything  on Sunday. Yes....was thinking if we can also visit any place of interest nearby the shelter/home. (If available). Please come to the gathering discussion in sunday. See you all

Would you like to join our charity?
