Back in Saigon, I had a chance to visit with Geroge and Joyce McHenry. Dr. George McHenry is the Head of Det Norske Veritas Academy, and Dr. Joyce McHenry is the Associate Professor of the Oslo School of Management. Both are from Norway and currently live and work in Viet Nam. Joyce and George started the Hai Phong Charity Program joining KWB in supporting the children in the Hoa Phuong Orphanage.
Over dinner, we discussed possible ways to grow the Hai Phong Charity Program and ways to involve more expatriates from Hai Phong City. We also shared ideas and discussed ways to support the Teach Me To Fish orphans with vocational training and higher education.
Since I started KWB in January 2001, our network of volunteers has grown worldwide. I have gotten to know so many extraordinary individuals who have given unconditionally of their skills, talents, experiences, time, and money to support our programs and projects. Our volunteers come from many different countries, are all different ages, and have all types of skills and talents. They have helped us make small differences around the world and, in turn, receive life-changing experiences. It's the POWER OF ONE.
THANK YOU, George and Joyce, Leanne, Mrs. Truc, Sarah, Virag, Ms. Chi, Ngoc Minh, and so many others. Looking for a life-changing experience? Join our POWER OF ONE team. To volunteer, please write to us.
George and Joyce, suurounded by some of the Teach Me To Fish orphans (and two children of one of the orphan)
