What & Why?

“Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world.  Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.” – Margaret Mead

Spending time living amongst an amazing people, many of whom are struggling with poverty, changes you. We cannot forget Vietnam, or the people we met there.

Several months ago, the three of us watched a video about a young boy living in the Tam Binh 2 orphanage located in Sài Gòn, a video that touched us deeply.  That video set into motion the events that would lead to Mothers In Action for Vietnam.  We began a dialogue about finding a way to unite the large number of bloggers we know for a common purpose.  We started researching non-profit groups working in Vietnam with one goal in mind: to bring medical aid to disadvantaged children, orphans and families. In that spirit, we hope to partner with various non-profits in Vietnam by sponsoring projects that align with our goals and passions.

This idea has been born out of a great passion to see what kind of good we could do if we all united to support a series of projects with different organizations.  It is our hope that with enough support, we will be able to expand our partnerships to encompass  projects in the areas of orphan care, family preservation,  HIV/AIDs care and education.  It is in honor of our sons that we have united to form Mothers in Action for Vietnam.
