Returning to Vietnam, fundraising
Tuesday, November 07, 2006
Dear family and friends,
Since I have returned to the states I have been busy working full time trying to raise enough money to support my new volunteer endeavors in Vietnam starting on the 27th of December (12:30am).
I will return to Vietnam independently not linked to the same volunteer agency that I worked with previously (which I had to pay to be a part of), thus making my trip a little cheaper. I will be doing similar work as before. I have secured a job working for Bread of Life, the cafe that hires people who are deaf to operate the cafe, also this is where the people work who taught me Vietnamese sign language. My volunteering there will provide me with a free room and a sponsored visa.
In my free time I will return to the orphanages and specifically the day center, where I will work with a group of children who are deaf ranging in ages of 9-17 who have not learned or have learned very little sign language and/or Vietnamese.
I am currently creating a curriculum to implement when I return so these children can begin to learn Vietnamese sign language.
In order to accomplish what I want to while over there I need to raise extra funds through fundraising. If any of you would like to donate any money to help my cause I would greatly appreciate it, a little bit goes a long way in Vietnam.
The money raised will be used for food and other personal needs, transportation, and teaching supplies. Approximately $20 pays for a weeks worth of food. Any extra funds raised will go to the orphanages which have recently been hit by the typhoon .
You can support me by:
Sending a check payable to: SKBN (South Kitsap Business Network) to,

Thank You, Take Care, and Stay Happy,
Stella Rivét
