Each year Melbourne Grammar School runs a trip to Vietnam for Year 10 boys, as part of the school's Values in Action program. In 2015 myself and 21 other boys will be going to Vietnam for 12 days during the April Holidays. Whilst on the trip we will be aiding 3 different charities. 

The first of these charities is the Fred Hollows foundation, which has established a hospital and care facilty in central Vietnam to restore sight to the people who have developed cataracts. The funds we raise go directly to this cause and to prove how much impact the money has, $25 is the cost of an operation to restore sight in someones eye. 

The second charity is the Agent Orange Orphanage just outside of Danang, also in Central Vietnam. We donate funds as well as a variety of stationary items, clothes and toys to children who are suffering from the after effects of the USA's use of Agent Orange during the Vietnam War. 

The third and final charity we will be aiding is a house building project on the Mekong Delta, in South Vietnam. The funds we raise go directly to financing the building materials, and we also spend two days helping to build the house.

Our groups goal is to raise over $20,000 to take to these three charities. This means that each student going on the trip is encouraged to raise close to, if not more than $1000. I have created this web page hoping that some of you would be willing to offer a donation of any size. I am really looking forward to this trip as I feel it will be a really great experience. 

Thanks again, Sam Cameron.
