Info

children, whose fathers or grandfathers were exposed (causing chromosomal damage) or who were contaminated from their mother’s milk, suffer from a range of difficult conditions While there, children and veterans are nourished and are provided with free medical care; the children—who may be there for a period of years—receive their basic education as well as some forms of job training. The Organic Gardening Project was launched in 2004 with the goal of creating islands of a harmonious approach to agriculture within areas of environmental and human devastation - increasing awareness of the consequences of war and, at the same time, demonstrating positive strategies for healing and living. The farm now is providing about 60% of the vegetable for the Village. It is hoped that it will be able to cover all the local need and to sell out some of the products to get money for the children.

THEME OR TYPE OF PROJECT AIMS OF THE PROJECT PROJECT’S ACTIVITIES COMMUITY COTEXT VOLUTEER’S REQUIREMETS Working with disabled children The project is aimed at providing volunteers an opportunity to be involved in a social work with a specific targeted group as children victims of Agent Orange, and at enabling Thanh Xuan Peace Village and its staff and beneficiaries to exchange with people from different cultures who are willing to share with disadvantaged communities. Established by a German non-profit organization, the Thanh Xuan Peace Village provides supervision and care for over 110 second and third generation children who are victims of Agent Orange, a herbicide and defoliant used by the U.S. Armed forces in its herbicidal warfare program during the Vietnam War. The centre has about 50 staff members amongst which are caretakers, physiotherapists, massage therapists, teachers, cooks and doctors. Exposure to the dioxins released by Agent Orange (though never officially recognized by the U.S. Government) has caused severe effects ranging from genetic defects to increased risk of cancers. Currently many hundreds of thousands of Vietnamese still suffer the consequences of the use of Agent Orange, the disabled children of Peace Village representing a mere fraction of that number. Facilities at the Peace Village include dormitory residence, two physiotherapy treatment rooms, an aqua-therapy pool, a playground, a communal dining halls, classrooms, technical training workshops, computer lab, and health clinic. Peacevillage is located in the outskirt of Hanoi. Located in the north of Vietnam, this capital city has over 3.5 million people and is the second biggest city in the country. Volunteers should like to work with handicapped children and maturity and initiative spirit. Preference: Volunteers with background or experience in medical work or disability. However, volunteers without experience or background will still be able to join in different work as children are very excited with foreigners. VOLUTEER’S TASKS Volunteers will help with different work in the centre, mainly as follow:
