The articles below pretty much describes why my uncle and I are working on building a charity to help children living in poverty in Vietnam. Every child has the right to a free education, and no government or political system should interfere with that right. But since Vietnamese schools still charge tuition fees, the money that the charity will raise will be used to pay off the children's tuition. The poorest of kids should have the same basic opportunities as the wealthiest of kids, and that's what we're trying to accomplish. We want to level the playing field and give the disadvantaged a chance at a better life.

Kickit
Kickit is a wonderful fundraising platform that allows donors to easily fund projects. I'm currently working on creating a project for my charity, it will be displayed on the Kickit website soon. In the meantime, please check out the website to help it grow. It's a very young website, but it will quickly expand with your help. Please take a look at it, and I hope you can help our charity's efforts when it's ready for display. I posted the link to Kickit below. Thank you.

Trying to Solve a BIG Problem
This summer, I will be going back to my birthplace of Vietnam to help my uncle run his charity. This charity is designed to help kids living in poverty get off the streets and into schools. Children in poverty are often forced to go to work by their parents to help provide for their families, therefore, these kids are unable to go to school. Also, schools in Vietnam can be expensive, so the charity helps the children pay for school tuition.
Since Vietnam has a terrible record of child labor, I did a little research and discovered some disturbing findings. There are several countries around the world that make the children do some truly horrible things. Take at the link below to see the facts.
After reading, please consider helping our efforts in assisting kids in Vietnam go to school. If you have knowledge on the matter, please give me a few tips on how to run a successful charity. Thank you!
