Review for Rock-Paper-Scissors Children's Fund , Wakefield, RI, USA
This is one of my favourite charitable organisations. I initially became interested in their work while I was cycling through Vietnam and meeting girls riding their bikes to school - so I was thrilled that Rock Paper Scissors had a program where we could donate directly to helping girls get to school by bike. This past summer, Sara asked us to come to Vietnam and help teach the girls who had received bikes how to care for them and maintain them properly. Being in Vietnam with the team allowed us to see how unfailingly dedicated Rock Paper Scissors US volunteers and their Vietnamese staff are to helping kids in the region! We got to see directly the impact that even a few dollars can make in the life of the children there.
This is an amazing organisation and I highly recommend them.
Review for Rock-Paper-Scissors Children's Fund , Wakefield, RI, USA
This is my favourite charity in the world. They address the issue of children's education at a grass-roots level in Vietnam. They are dedicated to providing bikes to girls to allow them to get to school safely, often over long distances, but they also ensure that the girls have the tools and the help they need to fix the bikes should anything go wrong. Combine this initiative with a school teaching music, dance and the arts in a small village in Vietnam and this charity gets my vote. So far, we have donated the equivalent of around 40 bikes and I plan to continue supporting Rock-Paper-Scissors in the future.
