Island ECC Team - Making a Difference!

Every year since 2012, Island ECC from Hong Kong has traveled to Thai Giang Pho middle school in BacHa.The men’s group has taken on some heavy infrastructure projects such as paving the schoolyard and building a new kitchen.

You can see the difference between the old and new. The new kitchen now provides more space to cook and is a safer environment for the teacher/cooks. The new schoolyard cuts down on the mud and allows for more diverse activities. This inviting space makes the children want to play and be with their friends which results in higher attendance at school.

This year the team built a new cafeteria providing the students with a clean, dry place to eat their meals. In addition, the group taught English classes and coordinated a carnival. The teachers and students at Thai Giang Pho were so excited about the many outdoor activities to enjoy! But the main reason the team comes back every year is to share their love, strengthen friendships, and transform lives. Coming back feels like home. The students and teachers at Thai Giang Pho Middle school are always very happy and eager to see the team each year.

Step out of your comfort zone and together we can change the world. Contact us at http://glocalventures.org/contact.php or send an email to info@glocalventures.org to find out more about how you and your team can help.

Favorite Memory by Louise Pewitt Getz

I went to Vietnam on the Medical Trip in 2012 and 2014. Both times we supplied the SS3 orphanage with toothbrushes for children and the elderly. I will never ever forget the reception of love and shear joy on the faces as I handed them out. I was surprised that such a simple necessary tool would a cherished possession. I loved serving on the medical trip and hearing giggles as I taught CPR on the mannequins that we used then donated to the Choung Mi Hosptial.
