Ba Vi Orphanage was founded in 1979 with the aim to provide good shelter and care for children with disabilities and orphan. At this moment, there are about 150 children who are abandoned or who are from very poor families who cannot afford caring for the treatment of disabilities. The orphanage is providing housing, education and basic care for the children, as well as providing vocational training with the hope that children can stand on their own feet with a job in the future. VPV is working with the orphanage to start up an organic garden with the aim to provide extra food for the children, and at the same time provide opportunities for labor rehabilitation for them. Volunteers will help with clearing the site, preparing soil, weeding, planting vegetables and fruit trees, cleaning a fish pond and redecorating the flowers in the garden. Additional activities may include planting trees, moving bricks for construction, collecting garbage and playing with the children or exchanging with local volunteers or staff.
