If you want to give back to Vietnam - Part 2

Another wonderful charity is APER.  It is a French charity run by the father of adoptees from Vietnam.  APER provided funding for the orphanage in Vung Tau City as well as funding to build and run the nearby Long Hai vocational centre.  We are currently sponsoring two girls through APER.  One is living at the Vung Tau orphanage.  The second is the daughter of the cook at the Vung Tau orphanage and we are sponsoring her university education. She is studying pharmacy. We get regular updates (in English) about the girls and we write back.  We have visited one of the girls twice. It's wonderfully personal.  If you would like more information, please check out APER's website (only in French) at this link.  Note that if you email the president, he is able to write back in English.  Also the woman who administers the sponsorships locally speaks English.
