Sponsoring a Child from Vung Tau

We have decided to sponsor a child through the French charity,   APER (www.pourlesenfantsdesrizieres.org) Association Pour Les  Enfants des  Rizieres.  While we are sponsoring a Vietnamese child through Plan Canada I wanted to also sponsor a child in Vung Tau. APER has a close affiliation with the Vung Tau 2 orphanage and seems very well organized. We were matched with a 9 year old girl with HIV in Vung Tau, who was abandoned four years ago. We will have the opportunity to correspond with her through a translator.  I am excited to help this girl and maybe a few years from now will meet her when we go back to Vietnam with Maya.

Catalyst Culture Camp?

We are thinking of attending this camp in the U.S. and are interested in opinions of others on whether it is worthwhile.  With the Canadian dollar so low, the camp is quite expensive. Please provide your comments below.

Many thanks!
