Phu Tho SOS Children's Village was built in Viet Tri City in 1999, following the model of the famous SOS International.

Thuy An Orphanage was founded in 1979, with the aim to provide good shelter and care for orphans and children with disabilities. At this moment, there are about 150 children who are abandoned, or who are from very poor families, that cannot afford caring for the treatment of disabilities. The orphanage is providing housing, education and basic care for the children, as well as providing vocational training, with the hope that they can stand on their own feet, and obtain a job in the future. VPV is working with the orphanage to start up an organic garden, with the aim to provide extra food for the children, and at the same time provide opportunities for labor rehabilitation for them.
Work:
Volunteers will help with taking care of the children and organising social activities for them. There will also be some manual work, such as clearing the site, preparing soil, weeding, planting vegetables and fruit trees, moving bricks for construction, collecting garbage and playing with the children or exchanging with local volunteers or staff. [In VPV37-10, volunteers will also help to organise Christmas and New Year festival for the children in the orphanage].

« The organisation of the camp community was fantastic! The group was great and we bonded quickly, language was always going to be a tricky one, but everyone attempted English and Indonesian so it made the whole experience fun and educational. »
