Hey everyone!
A lot of you know I lived and worked in Vietnam for about 7 years. I fell in love with the country and the wonderful people I met along the way (and the coffee of course!).
As an English teacher, I got to see first-hand just how hard Vietnamese people work for their families to try and better their own lives and for the lives of their children. Learning English is for a lot of them a springboard towards a new life which could change their fortunes forever.
Sadly, there are many children in desperate situations where they have to provide for their families at a young age, like shown in the video, and are taken advantage of and trafficked for various reasons.
So, I wanted to combine my love for March Madness with my gratitude for the work Blue Dragon does for children in Vietnam and other areas of the world!
