大咖福利影院

Yes, Please let me know, I would like to join as well.
loneliness elderly or orphans I will join as well.
I think the 22 Dec would be good. As I have some teddies remain from our Teddies Wish last Nov 30. So I need the number of kids so I can prepare enough teddies to give them
Cheers

and sticked

For the Dec 22, 2013 run, as of Dec 14, we have:

tranhungdao, 1, motorbike
tc0088, 1, motorbike
naniwag, 1, motorbike
mikeff, 2, motorbike (friends donating 2 cans)
Nhat Phuong, 1, motorbike (bringing teddy bears)
mia2013, in spirit from Florida (donating money)


Details of the run:

Who: Anyone who wants to make a difference.

What: Charity convoy to bring food (formula) to babies at an orphanage.

Where: Starting in HCMC, meet at S脿i G貌n Bridge (Cầu S脿i G貌n) to convoy via motorbike.

When: 7 O'clock Sunday morning, December 22, 2013.

Why: To feed and play with abandoned babies, get in the CHRISTMAS SPIRIT of Charity (Even Scrooge got it in the end).


Here's the FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) for more details:

Could you please give a little more information as to the address of the orphanage?
The orphanage we will be going to is called Ch霉a Diệu Ph谩p located at T芒n Cang hamlet, Phước T芒n commune, Long Th脿nh district, Đồng Nai province (ấp T芒n Cang, x茫 Phước T芒n, huyện Long Th脿nh, tỉnh Đồng Nai). It is about 10 minutes from the Mango Garden Resort (Du Lịch Sinh Th谩i Vườn Xo脿i).

Also is the orphanage in a temple?
It's a compound with a worship area in the front and the back area is where the kids live. About 5-8 Buddhist nuns run the place with a few hired helpers.

How many hour are we expected to be on the road, to and fro?
The last convoy there took about 2-1/2 hours total, with 1.5 hours driving. From HCMC to Big C at the H脿 Nội Highway and Vũng T脿u Highway crossing in Bi锚n H貌a City, it took an hour and the driving from Big C to the orphanage was about 30 minutes. We rested, ate fresh bread, and bought formula at Big C for about an hour. Coming back is on your own so you can "pedal to the metal" if you like or mosey at a leisure pace taking in the sights.

How much time are we expected to be spending there?
You're free to leave on your own after you play with the babies. But generally on Sunday's the temple will invite any guests that come to hang around and eat their B谩nh x猫o (kind of like a Vietnamese Omelette made from batter instead of eggs).

Usually 1/2 a day or you can block out your calendar from 7 AM to 2 PM to include the driving to and fro.

What activities can we do or can't we do?
You can play with babies, pick em up, sniff em. You can take pictures. After you're done, you can wander around the orphanage and check out the bigger kids and adults. It can get overwhelming with all the sadness so I just focus on the babies.

That's pretty much it. The main focus is to bring formulas to feed the babies because they don't have natural milk from their mothers.

Thanks TC0088.聽 I found some more locals that might join in.

I'm in are we meeting at a specific place by the saigon bridge before the convoy?

Ok.聽 I'll add you to the list for 1 person, has motorbike (so I don't need to find you a ride).聽 We meet at the far side of the bridge (meaning you crossed the river), east bound side (southern side)...the side Metro is on.聽 You should see the sun before you and not at your back at this time in the morning.

This picture was taken about 3 months ago before they opened the expanded bridge.聽 The road edge still has good amount of room to stage motorbikes

Good on you, THD
I'm still in Australia
Back in March for a short while

If there is a next one and if anybody lives in Phu My Hung, I have formula, (unopened) pacifiers and some diapers/wipes I could leave with you. Give this little guy a few weeks and I'll have baby clothes to give away too. I don't do babies on bikes or else I'd head out to one for sure.

Looking for next time. I will join. Pls, let me know when it will be.
